[bknr-devel] Recursive locks problem on sbcl

Hans,

It's OK. 

I've updated to the current version and I'm provding the patch as a
file. With this patch BKNR will continue to run without relying on
external sources. The patched version will work on cmucl-19c as there
aren't any changes beside code reorganisation.

Here is my original message:

> CXML continued breaking the compilation so I isolated it completely

> dependancies - one in the bknr-utils package and one in
> bknr-indices.

Kamen, Hi,

sorry for putting you on hold for so long.  I did not have the time to
review your patch when you sent it, and it now does no longer apply
cleanly.

Generally, I would like to continue to be able to get a BKNR based
installation to run without having to turn to external sources, thus
the thirdparty/ directory.  I am aware that this is not a very good
solution, but to me, this is better than having to follow upstream
changes to thirdparty stuff all the time.  Also, I have no immediate
plans to upgrade my existing installations from cmucl-19c.  Can you
please re-send your patch as an attached file, against current BKNR?
Does the patched version run with cmucl-19c?

I will promptly apply and commit the patch if you send it soon.  Sorry
for the delay.

Thanks,
Hans
