  you might try to edit src/clmacs.lsp to add some #-gcl in front of
  those to force using the GCL aset-by-cursor - i think aset-by-cursor
  is from KCL heritage, and the Lisp implementation of aset-by-cursor
  had been done to Maxima, to port it to other Lisp's. At least this
  function did exist in the first GCL the came under GPL already.

  so it does NOT crash when interpreted - only when compiled. You might
  want to circle this down, to a minimal file that has to be compile to
  trigger the bug - run this file through cmpnew - edit the C file, place
  write(2,"step 123\n",9); statements into it, C-Compile and load it.

Bye Michael
