GC, so that thereafter memory usage can never be reduced below that
level.
+ (As of 0.8.7.3 it's likely that the latter half of this bug is fixed.

In sbcl-0.6.11.41 (and in all earlier SBCL, and in CMU
CL), out-of-line structure slot setters are horribly inefficient
time trying to GC afterwards. Surely there's some more economical
way to implement (ROOM T).
+ Daniel Barlow doesn't know what fixed this, but observes that it
+ doesn't seem to be the case in 0.8.7.3 any more. Instead, (ROOM T)
+ in a fresh SBCL causes
+
+ debugger invoked on a SB-INT:BUG in thread 5911:
+ failed AVER: "(SAP= CURRENT END)"

When the compiler inline expands functions, it may be that different
kinds of return values are generated from different code branches.
The careful type of X is {2k} :-(. Is it really important to be
able to work with unions of many intervals?
-190: "PPC/Linux pipe? buffer? bug"
- In sbcl-0.7.6, the run-program.test.sh test script sometimes hangs
- on the PPC/Linux platform, waiting for a zombie env process. This
- is a classic symptom of buffer filling and deadlock, but it seems
- only sporadically reproducible.

191: "Miscellaneous PCL deficiencies"
(reported by Alexey Dejneka sbcl-devel 2002-08-04)
a. DEFCLASS does not inform the compiler about generated
This program violates "unknown values LVAR stack discipline": if INT
returns, values returned by (EXT) must be removed from under that of
(INT).

+300: (reported by Peter Graves) Function PEEK-CHAR checks PEEK-TYPE
+ argument type only after having read a character. This is caused
+ with EXPLICIT-CHECK attribute in DEFKNOWN. The similar problem
+ exists with =, /=, <, >, <=, >=. They were fixed, but it is probably
+ less error prone to have EXPLICIT-CHECK be a local declaration,
+ being put into the definition, instead of an attribute being kept in
+ a separate file; maybe also put it into SB-EXT?
+
+301: ARRAY-SIMPLE-=-TYPE-METHOD breaks on corner cases which can arise

+ (defun bar (x y)
