Hi Everyone,

Sorry for the off-topic chatter.

I don't quite follow this comment
(https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/12278/what-was-the-first-lisp-compiler#comment38427_12278)
and Google is not being helpful:

    There's never been a LISP compiler. LISP "compilers"
    just dump memory. See the Emacs "nonportable dumper"
    catastrophe that was only fixed in the last couple years.

What is the catastrophe that was fixed?
