[clfswm-devel] Random crashes cause

[Philippe Brochard]

Hi, yes, very good news!

Thanks a lot for the report.

Maybe, if you have some times, you can search if the crash of clfswm
with sbcl is linked to the bug you have spotted.
This way we can edit the clfswm FAQ and put a remark on sbcl
(temporally).

Best regards,

Philippe
