[Ecls-list] crash on file not found

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

Hi Dean,

Dustin is right. If you call the C functions directly you have to take
care of the errors that may be signalled. In your case, cl_load failed
and tried to find an error handler to jump to, without success. This
failure leads to another error message and so on indefinitely.

The reason for this design is that lisp library functions are not
expected to handle all errors themselves. Instead, they use the
condition system to signal them and expect that some function was
registered to handle them. I should probably set up a more clever
error handler that also provides a more meaningful message.

I presume these emails also answer all other questions regarding
toplevel handling, signals and errors that you posted before to the
mailing list.

Regards,

Juanjo
