The June snapshot has been tagged and binaries will be uploaded soon.

One notable change in this snapshot is that the save-lisp issue[1] has
a workaround.  I can no longer cause save-lisp to hang or produce
type-errors anymore.  However, I did not find the real cause of the
problem, but the workaround seems to fix the problem.

I hope this is useful.

Footnotes: 

[1]  The save-lisp issue has been around for a year or more and
manifests itself by not being able to save a new core file.  This
usually happens in newly started lisp.  A GC sometimes fixes things or
loading some code or other allocating stuff.  The culprit appears to
be some object in the static space pointing to some instance on the
heap.  However, that instance is in an unused part of the heap that
wasn't initialized from the core file.  I don't know how this gets
happens.  The workaround basically ends up saving a little more of the
heap into the core file, preserving the instance.  

I wish I knew the actual reason.  The workaround is just a
workaround.  I don't have the real solution.
