+changes in sbcl-1.0.16 relative to 1.0.15:
+  * minor incompatible change: change PROBE-FILE back to returning
+    NIL whenever we can't get a truename, as was the case before 1.0.14.
+  * minor incompatible change: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:NAME-SERVICE-ERROR now
+    inherits from ERROR instead of just CONDITION.
+  * new feature: SB-INTROSPECT can provide source locations for instances
+    as well. (thanks to Tobian Ritterweiler)
+  * optimization: binding special variables now generates smaller code
+    on threaded platforms.
+  * optimization: MEMBER and ASSOC are over 50% faster for :TEST #'EQ
+    and cases where no :TEST is given but the compiler can infer that
+    the element to search is of type (OR FIXNUM (NOT NUMBER)).
+  * optimization: better LOGNOT on fixnums.
+  * optimization: modular arithmetic for a particular requested width
+    is implemented using a tagged representation unless a better 
+    representation is available.
+  * fixed bug 423: TRULY-THE and *CHECK-CONSISTENCY* interaction.
+  * bug fix: SB-BSD-SOCKETS:MAKE-INET-ADDRESS checks the input string
+    for wellformedness and returns a specialized vector. (reported by
+    Francois-Rene Rideau)
+  * bug fix: FIND-CLASS was not thread-safe. (reported by Attila Lendvai)
+  * bug fix: ~R was broken for vigtillions. (thanks to Luis Oliveira)
+  * bug fix: attempt to obtain *SCHEDULER-LOCK* recursively when
+    unscheduling timer at the same time as another timer fires.
+  * bug fix: don't reschedule timers for dead threads.
+  * bug fix: periodic polling was broken. (thanks to Espen S Johnsen)
+  * bug fix: copying output from RUN-PROGRAM to a stream signalled
+    bogus errors if select() was interrupted.
+  * enhancement: add support for fcntl's struct flock to SB-POSIX.
