[Bese-devel] UCW with SBCL on Linux (possibly threading issue)

[Shark Fin Soup]

Dear Vladimir,

I am running this on a Linode box (100Mhz), so it would take forever  
to migrate my Gentoo to NPTL. I waited at least half a day and it was  
not done with recompilation, so I decided to opt for the CMUCL  
option. I also decided that using Gentoo on the box is not practical  
because of the lengthly compilation time to make any change to the  
system. Hence, Debian was fine for my purpose.

As you said, CMUCL works without a glitch. I had make minor change to  
Swank to allow SSH tunneling to work, but other than that all is well.

Thank you,

Dr. Atip Asvanund
