type safety errors reported by Peter Van Eynde July 25, 2000:
k: READ-BYTE is supposed to signal TYPE-ERROR when its argument is
not a binary input stream, but instead cheerfully reads from

as reported by Eric Marsden on cmucl-imp@cons.org 2001-08-14:

isn't too surprising since there are many differences in stack
implementation and GC conservatism between the X86 and other ports.)

+
167:
In sbcl-0.7.3.11, compiling the (illegal) code
(in-package :cl-user)
the bad VECTOR-PUSH-EXTEND frame causes GC problems, though that may
not be the actual problem. (CMU CL 18c doesn't have problems with this.)
+ This is probably the same bug as 162

217: "Bad type operations with FUNCTION types"
In sbcl.0.7.7:

280: bogus WARNING about duplicate function definition
In sbcl-0.8.3 and sbcl-0.8.1.47, if BS.MIN is defined inline,

The issue seems to be that construction of a discriminating function
calls COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD with methods that are not all applicable.

+282: "type checking in full calls"
+ In current (0.8.3.6) implementation a CAST in a full call argument
+ is not checked; but the continuation between the CAST and the
+ combination has the "checked" type and CAST performs unsafe
+ coercion; this may lead to errors: if FOO is declared to take a
+ FIXNUM, this code will produce garbage on a machine with 30-bit
+ fixnums:

+283: Thread safety: libc functions
+ There are places that we call unsafe-for-threading libc functions

+ strongly suspected problems, as of 0.8.3.10: please update this
+ bug instead of creating new ones
+
+ localtime() - called for timezone calculations in code/time.lisp

+284: Thread safety: special variables
+ There are lots of special variables in SBCL, and I feel sure that at
+ least some of them are indicative of potentially thread-unsafe
+ parts of the system. See doc/internals/notes/threading-specials
