Hello Helmut,

I didn't really fully understand this example or the question because I 
have only just recently begun to look at elisp, which I understand is 
the language in which the test suite is written. What spec are you 
referring to?

I did find the following in the CCL documentation if that has any bearing:
9.3. Limitations and known bugs

Clozure CL and the external process may get confused about who owns 
which streams when input, output, or error are specified as T and wait 
is specified as NIL.

External processes that need to talk to a terminal device may not work 
properly; the environment (SLIME, ILISP) under which Clozure CL is run 
can affect this.
