[Openmcl-devel] Trouble with save-application

Hi,

I am trying to create a lisp image which runs a "main" function at
startup.  Here is how I created the image:

    (defun main ()
      (format t "Hello, world!")
      (CCL::quit))

    (CCL::save-application "hello-world.image" :toplevel-function #'main)

This successfuly creates the hello-world.image file, but when I try to
use the image I get this error:

    [jared at lhug-1 OpenMCL]$ openmcl -I hello-world.image
    Error during early application initialization:

    value #<A Dead Mac Pointer> is not of the expected type MACPTR.
    ? for help

I am using 1.1-pre-070512 (LinuxX8664).  I'm not sure if I've done
something wrong or if this is a bug, so in case it's a bug here is the
backtrace.

I can work around this by taking out the :toplevel-function parameter
and adding the -e option to the command line, i.e.,
   openmcl -I hello-world.image -e "(main)"

But I'd ideally like to get the main function built right into the image.

Thanks!
