<p dir="auto">The failure isn't replicable to me, which bothers me some. I suspect it means that it's having side-effects in the file system that aren't entirely cleaned up. I'm eyeballing the test and it <em>does</em> affect the filesystem, and it does not remove the files (really symlinks) it creates. So ... potentially there could be insufficiently controlled side-effects that gave me a transient failure? I don't know. I suppose it's also possible that it does something with the filesystem that Jenkins isn't allowed to do, and that's why I got the Jenkins-only failure. But that explanation doesn't explain why I get failure only with Jenkins <em>and</em> MKCL.</p>

<p dir="auto">There's no comment saying what this is supposed to test, other than the<br>
name, which suggests that it's about testing where there are ... multiple<br>
systems defined (incorrectly) in one .asd file? the same systems defined in<br>
multiple .asd files?</p>
<p dir="auto">The test checks to make sure (I believe) that a variable is not rebound when<br>
we ask to reload a system, but not how this pertains to correct ASDF<br>
