This is probably specific to the Lisp implementation. Which are you using?

If you're using ACL then you should probably use excl:setq-default
instead of setq. Otherwise new threads will use the default instead of
what you want.

See http://www.franz.com/support/documentation/6.2/doc/pages/operators/top-level/setq-default.htm
