You might also want to contact the Franz folks and warn them that ASDF
may corrupt images that they dump, and have them fix their
application-building and image-dumping facilities to avoid these problems.

Maybe Franz should extend their copy of the ASDF library to infiltrate
the image-handling process when they bundle it into ACL.

I'd encourage you to do that, and CC me when you submit the bugreport to
Franz.
