[Openmcl-devel] compiling large files.

[Hamilton Link]

Possibly. I have worked with pretty big data sets in openmcl and what 
you're doing was also my approach to making a big honkin' fasl file, so 
that part should work. But I think my data was a smallish list of large 
matrices.

(apropos "SIZE") shows this, among other things...
   ARRAY-TOTAL-SIZE-LIMIT,  Value: 16777216

So I would guess from your description that you're running into this 
when the compiler calls make-load-form on your list. Can you confirm 
this is somewhere up the stack from vector-push-extend?
