I have submitted bug reports, and provided descriptions of my setup (I think, 
actually, more than once). Have you entered them in the test suite for ASDF? 
(Do you have a test suite for ASDF?) I find it hard to believe they don't show 
up on your side if you continue testing that setup. (The bugs occur in SBCL, 
Clozure and LispWorks, for example…)
