+94a: 
+  Inconsistencies between derived and declared VALUES return types for
+  DEFUN aren't checked very well. E.g. the logic which successfully
+  catches problems like
+    (declaim (ftype (function (fixnum) float) foo))
+    (defun foo (x)
+      (declare (type integer x))
+      (values x)) ; wrong return type, detected, gives warning, good!
+  fails to catch
+    (declaim (ftype (function (t) (values t t)) bar))
+    (defun bar (x)
+      (values x)) ; wrong number of return values, no warning, bad!
+  The cause of this is seems to be that (1) the internal function 
+  VALUES-TYPES-EQUAL-OR-INTERSECT used to make the check handles its
+  arguments symmetrically, and (2) when the type checking code was
+  written back when when SBCL's code was still CMU CL, the intent
+  was that this case
+    (declaim (ftype (function (t) t) bar))
+    (defun bar (x)
+      (values x x)) ; wrong number of return values; should give warning?
+  not be warned for, because a two-valued return value is considered
+  to be compatible with callers who expects a single value to be
+  returned. That intent is probably not appropriate for modern ANSI
+  Common Lisp, but fixing this might be complicated because of other
+  divergences between auld-style and new-style handling of
+  multiple-VALUES types. (Some issues related to this were discussed
+  on cmucl-imp at some length sometime in 2000.)
+
+95:
+  The facility for dumping a running Lisp image to disk gets confused
+  when run without the PURIFY option, and creates an unnecessarily large
+  core file (apparently representing memory usage up to the previous
+  high-water mark). Moreover, when the file is loaded, it confuses the
+  GC, so that thereafter memory usage can never be reduced below that
+  level.
+
+96:
+  The TRACE facility can't be used on some kinds of functions.
+  Basically, the breakpoint facility wasn incompletely implemented
+  in the X86 port of CMU CL, and we haven't fixed it in SBCL.
+
+97:
+  FRESH-LINE doesn't seem to work properly within pretty-printed
+  output. E.g. 
+    "~@<unhandled CONDITION (of type ~S): ~2I~_~A~:>~2%"
+  called on a CONDITION whose printer does
+    "~&~@<error in function ~S: ~3I~:_~?~:>"
+  gives two newlines between "unhandled CONDITION" and "error", when
+  (it at least seems as though) correct behavior would be to give one.
