Some time ago I applied some hacks to make kpax (and s-http-server  
and s-sysdeps) work in single-threaded mode for CLISP.
Although it did more or less work, I was unhappy with the bivalent  
stream issues (binary/character stream uncertainty).
Thanks for playing with this - when I have more time (august) I will  
have another look at this.
