[Openmcl-devel] Does Clozure CL64 run on Mac OS X Lion?

[Gary Byers]

It's pretty obvious what version of CCL you're using from context, but
when reporting something like this it's generally a good habit to mention
that information, even if it doesn't seem obviously relevant.

I assume that you're running CCL 1.6, which was released several months
before Apple introduced this bug.  (This is pretty clearly a bug; there's
another incompatible change to the Lion ObjC runtime that's a bit of a
surprise but is intentional and isn't a bad idea:  "Apple Invents Tagging!").

We worked around this in the trunk (mostly) in r14821 and the relevant changes
are in the 1.7 prerelease; we hope that 1.7 final will be released in the next
few days.  We haven't backported the changes to 1.6; I'm not sure that doing
so makes a lot of sense at this point.
