Hello Ray,

I found a solution to the problem. When I replace the variable S in the
routine UNITCIR with a new variable like SGN which is not used in the
routine POLELIST the error vanishes.

I do not know what is wrong. Perhaps it is a compiler bug in SBCL. 

Remark: The error vanishes too, when I load the function UNITCIR only.

Should I commit this change of the names of the variable S.
