        So, what's the status of this problem finally ? While I can find a few
traces on the net, I couldn't figure out a proper way to fix it. I've tried
again this morning with the latest CVS version and it's still present.

For the record, the cause (for me) is having

(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'asdf-binary-locations)
(defvar asdf::*source-to-target-mappings*
  '(("/usr/local/lib/sbcl/" nil)))

in my init file.


Thanks !
