Yes, I have only observed this behavior with Apache 1, which is
unfortunately my prefered platform. Also stand-alone Hunchentoot seems
to work fine. I'm using debians mod_lisp in version 2.43 which is the
newest version I think. I'm using the standard debian linux kernel in
version 2.6.18 and the newest SBCL.
