No. Inverted case derives from the documentation on so-called MODERN packages via DEFPACKAGE or MAKE-PACKAGE in CLISP. Of course, there's no guarantee (i.e. documentation) that the package named "WIN32" uses modern mode.

Remember that this excursion to GetCurrentProcessId is only needed for clisp <2.34. Since CVS May 2005, you can use sys::process-id in all implementations of CLISP.

BTW, I promised you a patch around the getpid issue, but that has to wait until my laptop comes out of repair.

What about
(and (find-package "WIN32")
     (read-from-string "WIN32:GetCurrentProcessId")) to not suffer from sLurdYCaPS?
