[Ecls-list] threading failures

[Daniel Kochmański]

Hello,

that's probably my fault, sorry. I've migrated bugs manually and
probably missed this one (I remember this bug! but can't find anywhere).

I'm adding it to regression tests in repository, thanks!  Yes, old
reports are unfortunately lost.

As a sienote, please use ecl-devel at common-lisp.net mailing list – I'm
closing the old one today. You can subscribe here
https://mailman.common-lisp.net/listinfo/ecl-devel . All archives before
2015-08-10 are imported to the new one and gmane stream is redirected
(if you use it).

Regards,
Daniel
