+Paul Dietz:
+  He is in the process of writing a comprehensive test suite
   for the requirements of the ANSI Common Lisp standard. Already, at
   the halfway stage, it has caught hundreds of bugs in SBCL, and
   provided simple test cases for them. His random crash tester has
   caught an old deep problem in the implementation of the stack
   analysis phase in the compiler.
