It means what ever we're using inside ITA these days.  Martin Cracaeur
is in the middle of updating us from an 18e+parts of 19a to a full
19a+our hacks and I'm not sure where things are.

It sounds like I need to access the patch in swank-cmucl.lisp (I have
the 19a feature turned on in *features* to get some of the 19a support
we can use so this is clearly my problem).

Thanks for the fast response,
