[Ecls-list] cl_boot() segfaults when called not in the main thread

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

cl_boot() can only be used _once_ and it only has to be used once: it
simply allocates the resources for ECL, registering symbols,
functions, etc.

If you need to run Common Lisp code in other threads, use

extern ECL_API void ecl_import_current_thread(cl_object process_name,
cl_object process_binding);
extern ECL_API void ecl_release_current_thread(void);

to register/release the currently running thread with ECL. You only
need to release the thread when it is going to be destroyed, not on
every use.
