IIRC there is a bug or bugs in GCL's implementation of DRIBBLE.
The effect of DRIBBLE varies anyway. Maybe with_stdout is
more predictable across Lisps (then again, maybe not).
In any event, there's no sense in being coy about the problem.
If you think there's something wrong, don't leave us guessing.
FWIW
