Strange.  Are you using the newest version of all libraries?  Could
you provide a backtrace of the error?  Also, we'd need information
about your Lisp implementation and OS.

I assume you mean who.lisp.  But of course the idea is that you change
this value in your code and not in the source code of the library.
