[Openmcl-devel] CCL Win32 confuses equally named functions

[Bill St. Clair]

Wimpie,

Your code behaved as it did because your USE of the ENCRYPTION package by
the DIRECTOR package, as Hans surmised, caused the GENERATE-KEY definition
in the DIRECTOR package to overwrite the definition in the ENCRYPTION
package, since DIRECTOR:GENERATE-KEY is the same symbol as
ENCRYPTION:GENERATE-KEY.

How your code ever "worked" I don't know, but since you said it did, I
tried it in 64-bit Darwin, x8664 Linux, 32-bit ARM Linux, and both 32-bit
and 64-bit Windows. Same error on all platforms: "In the call to
GENERATE-KEY with arguments (NEW-USER NEW-PASSWD *LIBRARY-KEYS-DIR*), 3
arguments were provided, but at most 2 are accepted". To behave otherwise
would be a bug in the package system.
