it'll be even cooler when (if) that backtrace page gives you a list of
restarts...

Just before releasing 0.3.9 i renamed enviroment to enviroNment in the
ucw and yaclml source code, since you get an error about
make-standard-environment (notice the correct spelling of environment)
my guess is that you have an up-to-date ucw but an out-of-date yaclml.

1) make sure you have exactly one copy of yaclml installed 

2) make sure the copy of yaclml asdf is using is the one shipped with
   ucw. you can check this by looking at the path returned by:

   (asdf:component-pathname (asdf:find-system :yaclml))

   and making user that it's under the ucw 0.3.9 tree.

3) open up ucw_0.3.9/libs/yaclml/src/tal/tal-environment.lisp and make
   sure the environment is correctly spelled.

4) if you successfully get here then i f__ked up something along tha
   way and you're entitled to: 1) mail a complete backtrace (show the
   local variables) 2) drink to forget :)
