I think it is a very Good Sign that your test suite is unearthing bugs 
in UFFI as well as the Lisps themselves, and of course that CFFI passes 
those tests. Do you feel you did a good job of having the test suite dig 
into the edge cases of FFI? Is that why you are finding bugs in Lisps?

Looks great. thx for jumping on those stray issues I unearthed. Can you 
throw me a bone and send me a tarball? I have managed to avoid digging 
up a WinDARC and would like to keep it that way as long as possible.
