Thanks, Ties.  Yes, I'm getting the sense that I might be better off writing
a new launcher for the gentoo init scripts that uses the start.lisp alone.
Whether or not the ucwctl/conf.lisp stuff stays in or not, I'm getting the
sense that supporting it and seeing that it doesn't break won't be a high
priority.   That's not a complaint - it makes more sense if I try to keep
the gentoo package as close as possible to the way most people are using
ucw.  I'll see if others (including luca) can offer some advice first - it
troubles me that I don't understand what is going wrong, and I don't want to
bounce off this again.

Also, if luca is comitting to keeping this stuff alive for Debian, maybe I
can work with him on maintaining it for both of our distros.  Luca?  (It
might be time for me to fire up a debian vm and see how things work there).

I'm on sbcl 9.14, too.  I tried your change, including removing the changes
to start.lisp and it didn't have an effect (but thanks, anyway, I've left it
in).  Notably, there is no apparent attempt to compile the ucw-intro *.lisp
files - I think it is failing before it loads the asd file.

I'll do that - especially once I become more comfortable with this stuff.
Thanks, again.
