then requesting a BACKTRACE at the debugger prompt gives no information
about where in the user program the problem occurred.
+ (this is apparently mostly fixed on the SPARC and PPC architectures:
+ while giving the backtrace the system complains about "unknown
+ source location: using block start", but apart from that the
+ backtrace seems reasonable. See tests/debug.impure.lisp for a test
+ case)

Using the pretty-printer from the command prompt gives funny
results, apparently because the pretty-printer doesn't know
SET-FUNCALLABLE-INSTANCE-FUN scary stuff in
src/code/target-defstruct.lisp is broken? This seems to be broken
in CMUCL 18e, so it's not caused by a recent change.

+344: more (?) ROOM T problems (possibly part of bug 108)
+ In sbcl-0.8.12.51, and off and on leading up to it, the
+ SB!VM:MEMORY-USAGE operations in ROOM T caused
+ unhandled condition (of type SB-INT:BUG):
+ failed AVER: "(SAP= CURRENT END)"
+ Several clever people have taken a shot at this without fixing
+ it; this time around (before sbcl-0.8.13 release) I (WHN) just
+ commented out the SB!VM:MEMORY-USAGE calls until someone figures
+ out how to make them work reliably with the rest of the GC.
+
+ (Note: there's at least one dubious thing in room.lisp: see the
+ comment in VALID-OBJ)
+
+345: backtrace on x86 undefined function
+ In sbcl-0.8.13 (and probably earlier versions), code of the form
+ (flet ((test () (#:undefined-fun 42)))
+ (funcall #'test))
+ yields the debugger with a poorly-functioning backtrace. Brian
+ Downing fixed most of the problems on non-x86 architectures, but on
+ the x86 the backtrace from this evaluation does not reveal anything
+ about the problem. (See tests in debug.impure.lisp)
+
+346: alpha backtrace
+ In sbcl-0.8.13, all backtraces from errors caused by internal errors
+ on the alpha seem to have a "bogus stack frame".
