[cl-mathstats-devel] Losing symbols on system re-load

[Gary King]

Hi David,

> Deleting the .fas files and re-loading gets back the lost symbols.

This is what we call "an odd thing".

Looking at the list you appended and revisiting the code leads me to  
suspect that the missing symbols are mostly (entirely) from the  
define-statistic macro. Which, I now see, expands into

> (progn (eval-when (:compile-toplevel) (export 'mean))
>        (defclass mean (simple-statistic) nil)
> ...

So that the symbol is only exported when the file is compiled ... I  
have _no_ idea how this has ever worked. Sigh.

I'll be posting an update that corrects this shortly.

(P.S., as for the values, I decided to just remove them instead of  
added clisp to the list...)
