Interestingly, ASDF 2.010, released yesterday, for performance
reasons, has moved away from using (directory #p"**/*.asd") then
filtering, towards computing subdirectories (which was much harder to
do than should be, requiring 9 different variants for 11
implementations) and recursing manually, pruning as you go. It passes
all the tests with ABCL.

Please upgrade at your earliest convenience.
