When you built the lisp, the "svnversion" program couldn't be found on
your search path or generated an error; I don't know which or why.
The lisp hasn't changed.

Either that, or you accidentally inserted a control character before or
after the lambda.  (NAME-CHAR of a string of length 1 is the 0th element
of the string in CCL; the error suggests that NAME-CHAR tried to find
a character named by a longer string.)

(The Cocoa text system has options - somewhere in NSLayoutManager, IIRC) -
that enables the display of control and otherwise invisible characters;
being able to toggle those options on and off would be useful in debugging
things like this.)
