NB: in case anyone wants to bissect it, all tests pass as of commit
914ce25 from 2013-06-19.
They fail as of latest commit 237af2e8 from 2013-10-29 (on top of
which I committed Daniel Herring's patch above).
That's 46 suspect commits.
To test:
  make -C ~/cl/asdf/ t l=ecl t=test-program.script
NB: You need to have installed the lisp-invocation library.
