[lift-devel] self test problems

[Gary King]

(cc'd to list)

Hi Henry,

You're right. I've been used mostly Allegro and didn't check SBCL  
from scratch. I'm just pushing 1.3.3 up now; please let me know if  
this corrects things for you. I'm not sure about the OpenMCL thing  
and don't use OpenMCL right now; so please let me know if there's  
anything I can change or do to help.
