Drat! Still not fully fixed in the context of

make test-all-upgrade

Above backtrace due to this condition:
#P"/Users/rpg/.cache/common-lisp/acl-8.2m-macosx-x64/Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/build/asdf.fasl"
does not exist, cannot load
Script failed
upgrade FAILED for allegromodern from 1.85 using method
'load-asdf-lisp'load-asdf-system
you can retry just that test with:
ASDF_UPGRADE_TEST_TAGS="1.85"
ASDF_UPGRADE_TEST_METHODS="'load-asdf-lisp'load-asdf-system"
./test/run-tests.sh -u allegromodern
or more interactively (and maybe with rlwrap or in emacs), start with:
mlisp -q
then copy/paste:
(load"test/script-support.lisp") (asdf-test::da) (test-upgrade
'load-asdf-lisp'load-asdf-system "1.85")

My guess is that this is another one of those bugs that's a bug in the
testing, rather than in ASDF itself...

I notice that the test is trying to load from my .cache rather than
loading from the special place for parking asdf test products.  Is that
related?
