So, I should go back to single-process state before saving the image.
I can DESTROY-PROCESS every process except the idle loop and then save the
image but:
(mapc #'mp:destroy-process
(butlast (mp:all-processes)))
does not work.
I could not find a function in the MP package that shuts down multiprocessing
and goes back to single processing state.
What is the purpose of the MP:*MULTI-PROCESSING* variable ? Does it indicates if
multiprocessing is being used ? I seems to be t by default:
$ /usr/local/cmucl-19a/bin/lisp -noinit -core
/usr/local/cmucl-19a/lib/cmucl/lib/lisp.core
CMU Common Lisp 19a-pre3, running on kino
With core: /usr/local/cmucl-19a/lib/cmucl/lib/lisp.core

maybe what I want to do is simply impossible.
