+changes in sbcl-1.0.27 relative to 1.0.26:
+ * new port: support added for x86-64 OpenBSD. (thanks to Josh Elsasser)
+ * new port: support added for x86-64 Solaris. (thanks to Alex Viskovatoff)
+ * improvement: the system either recovers from stack exhaustion or dies
+ properly as opposed to leaving the user uncertain of whether the handler
+ trampled on some random memory next to the stack or having to rely on
+ --lose-on-corruption (which is still a good idea to use in production
+ because stack exhaustion can happen in signal handlers which will likely
+ lead to hangs.)
+ * bug fix: fix gc related interrupt handling bug on ppc (regression from
+ 1.0.25.37, reported by Harald Hanche-Olsen)
+ * bug fix: work around signal delivery bug in darwin (regression from
+ 1.0.25.44, reported by Sidney Markowitz)
+ * bug fix: fix ERROR leaking memory (reported by David Thompson)

INTERRUPT-THREAD or a timer function) runs in an environment where
interrupts can be enabled. The interruption can use
WITH-INTERRUPTS or WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS as it sees fit. Use
WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS to avoid nesting of interruptions and

of WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS some potentially blocking operation such as
acquiring a lock can enable interrupts.

+ * incompatible change: GC-OFF and GC-ON are removed, as they were
always unsafe. Use WITHOUT-GCING instead.
* new feature: runtime option --disable-ldb
* new feature: runtime option --lose-on-corruption to die at the
memory, stack, alien stack, binding stack, encountering a memory
fault, etc. In the absence of --lose-on-corruption a warning is
printed to stderr.
+ * enhancement: detect binding stack exhaustion
+ * enhancement: detect alien stack exhaustion on x86/x86-64
* improvement: generally more stable and reliable interrupt handling
* improvement: there is a per thread interruption queue,
interruptions are executed in order of arrival
fault.
* bug fix: finalizers, gc hooks never run in a WITHOUT-INTERRUPTS
* bug fix: fix random memory faults related to interrupts on alpha

* bug fix: fix deadlocks related to starting threads
* bug fix: fix deadlines on locks on futex platforms
