[mcclim-devel] ASDF building problems on CMUCL

It seems as if there are some problems with ASDF module specification
for scigraph in current versions of McCLIM CVS.

When I try to build as per the instructions (using cmucl), the build
stalls after loading the module specs and it does not matter whether I
load system.lisp or mcclim.asd.

A stacktrace is show below.

Outcommenting the definition of the scigraph system removes the
problem and McCLIM builds and runs without problems. It would thus
appear that the scigraph system triggers an infinite loop somewhere in
ASDF.

The problem appears with todays CVS and the version labelled as
McCLIM-0-9-1; it appears that the version McCLIM-0-9 only works with
mkdefsystem enabled lisps.

I am running on a Debian system with the following versions:

    ii  common-lisp-controller             4.14                   
    ii  cmucl                              19a-release-20040728-11
    ii  cl-asdf                            1.86-4
