Bug#1001081: response to Sébastien's question

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

Hello, Sébastien.

It took me a long time to reply, please accept my apologies.

Sure. Ok, I got the same result when invoking that exact command line
you provided: "Internal error 222".

(Separately, I confirmed these two files have identical contents:
/usr/share/common-lisp/source/quicklisp/quicklisp.lisp and
/home/sebboh/prj/quicklisp.lisp)

I found that I do NOT have to `killall -9 sbcl`...  Instead, after the
error, I can select [CONTINUE] and then invoke (quit).  Log of that
follows my signature.  Maybe your eyes can see a clue where mine do
not yet.  Hm, when I do it this way, now the output does list a
specific undefined function.

I hope this helps, and I'm still willing to gather more information.
More quickly next time. :)

Cheers,
