     option to OPEN now signals an error if the file being opened
     exists; this may have an impact on existing code.
+  * fixed bug 190: RUN-PROGRAM should now work properly, respecting
+    signals received, on the PowerPC platforms (both Linux and
+    Darwin).  (thanks to Pierre Mai for pointing out the location of

+  * several fixes on OS X: The system now builds and runs cleanly on
+    Panther (10.3), and works around sigreturn bug (no more SIGFPEs).

   * bug fix: DECODE-UNIVERSAL-TIME now accepts timezone arguments with
     second-resolution: integer multiples of 1/3600 between -24 and 24.
