I create that thread manually. What I want is that whenever a request
is made to some URL, a string should be returned immediately while
processing goes in Lisp. For this I create a new thread using
mp:make-process in the handler function, and then this function
returns the string.

error in the new thread created. Is there anyway I can make TBNL log
these errors too?
