Bug#1001081: sbcl: `sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp` fails with `internal error 222` since 2.1.11-1

[David Loyall <david@the-good-guys.net>]

Package: sbcl
Version: 2:2.1.11-1
Severity: important

Dear Sébastien Villemot,

Here is some output from a terminal:

    sebboh@debian:~/prj$ sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp
    This is SBCL 2.1.11.debian, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
    More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

    SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty.
    It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under
    BSD-style licenses.  See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the
    distribution for more information.
    While evaluating the form starting at line 1154, column 0
      of #P"/home/sebboh/prj/quicklisp.lisp":

    debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR @52CF6451 in thread
    #<THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {1001834103}>:
      internal error 222: NIL; args=NIL

    Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:EXIT) to exit from SBCL.

    restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):

      2: [ABORT   ] Abort loading file "/home/sebboh/prj/quicklisp.lisp".
      3:            Ignore runtime option --load "quicklisp.lisp".
      4:            Skip rest of --eval and --load options.
      5:            Skip to toplevel READ/EVAL/PRINT loop.
      6: [EXIT    ] Exit SBCL (calling #'EXIT, killing the process).

    The current thread is not at the foreground,
    SB-THREAD:RELEASE-FOREGROUND has to be called in
#<SB-THREAD:THREAD "main thread" RUNNING {1001834103}>
    for this thread to enter the debugger.
    Killed

FYI, `quicklisp.lisp` is the 2010-10-09 Quicklisp beta.

I tried a few things, then I noticed that my installed version of sbcl
is only two days old..  So, I searched /var/cache/apt/archives and
found an older one..  Then, I did this:

    sebboh@debian:~/prj$ dpkg -i
/var/cache/apt/archives/sbcl_2%3a2.1.8-1_amd64.deb
    dpkg: error: requested operation requires superuser privilege
    sebboh@debian:~/prj$ sudo !!
    sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/sbcl_2%3a2.1.8-1_amd64.deb
    dpkg: warning: downgrading sbcl from 2:2.1.11-1 to 2:2.1.8-1
    (Reading database ... 61703 files and directories currently installed.)
    Preparing to unpack .../sbcl_2%3a2.1.8-1_amd64.deb ...
    Unpacking sbcl (2:2.1.8-1) over (2:2.1.11-1) ...
    Setting up sbcl (2:2.1.8-1) ...
    Processing triggers for man-db (2.9.4-2) ...

After that, `sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp` worked as expected!

I hope this information is helpful.  I have exhausted my
troubleshooting capability here, but if you tell me some commands to
run, I will share the output with you.

Some information from `reportbug` is below my sig.

Cheers,
