Package: sbcl Version: 1:1.0.45.0-1 Severity: normal I installed stumpwm and wanted to use it with sbcl. Following the instructions in stumpwm's README.Debian file I did the following:
$ sbcl * (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op 'clx) <...lots of output...> ACCEPT (i.e. press 2 and then RET) * (quit) However, before I hit 2 to ACCEPT, there was an error: debugger invoked on a SB-INT:BUG in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" RUNNING {1002D2DD51}>: failed AVER: (AND (NULL (TN-READS TN)) (NULL (TN-WRITES TN))) This is probably a bug in SBCL itself. (Alternatively, SBCL might have been corrupted by bad user code, e.g. by an undefined Lisp operation like (FMAKUNBOUND 'COMPILE), or by stray pointers from alien code or from unsafe Lisp code; or there might be a bug in the OS or hardware that SBCL is running on.) If it seems to be a bug in SBCL itself, the maintainers would like to know about it. Bug reports are welcome on the SBCL mailing lists, which you can find at <http://sbcl.sourceforge.net/>. This prevents stumpwm from starting. I found the following thread on the sbcl-devel mailing list which seems to suggest it is indeed a bug in SBCL rather than just CLX: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=26710588 Applying the workaround given by Roman Marynchak fixes the problem, and stumpwm can start. I do not know if this problem still applies to the upstream SBCL or not, but it seems to be hitting the sid package anyway.
