[Openmcl-devel] errors with the 1.9 rc

[R. Matthew Emerson]

It would be helpful to show a backtrace in cases like this.  That way, we'd have a better idea of where to look for the trouble.

To get a backtrace, type ":b" at the break loop prompt.  For example:

? (cons 1 2 3)
> Error: Too many arguments in call to #<Compiled-function CONS #x30000017F4DF>:
>        3 arguments provided, at most 2 accepted. 
> While executing: CONS, in process listener(1).
> Type :POP to abort, :R for a list of available restarts.
> Type :? for other options.
1 > :b
*(20E199C0) : 0 (CONS 1 2 3) 7
 (20E19A30) : 1 (CALL-CHECK-REGS CONS 1 2 3) 221
 (20E19A68) : 2 (TOPLEVEL-EVAL (CONS 1 2 3) NIL) 693
