+changes in sbcl-0.8.20 (0.9alpha.0?) relative to sbcl-0.8.18:
+  * fixed disassembly of SHLD and SHRD on x86.  (thanks to David
+    Lichteblau)
+  * fixed bugs 19 and 317: fixed-format floating point printing is
+    more accurate.  This also fixes a bug reported by Adam Warner
+    related to the ~@F format directive.

+       start of the buffer at the next read.
