I compiled ECL0.9l on a Vista machine using microsoft VC Express. ECL
itself compiled without a problem and runs fine, but compiling maxima
the lispish way failed. Running configure.lisp and loading
maxima-build.lisp works as expected, but then...
> (maxima-compile)

;;; Loading "C:/prg/ecl09l/maxima-5.16.3/src/binary-ecl/maxima-package.obj"
Found invalid character Soh

tils/defsystem.lisp" (Form #226)

Is this a problem of ecl or of Maxima or both?
