SYSTEM-SPECIFIC HINTS -for OpenBSD: - It's reported for CMU CL (by Darren Bane on the comp.lang.lisp newsgroup, - 2002-04-22) that OpenBSD 3.0 has stricter ulimit values, and/or enforces - them more strictly, than its predecessors, and so CMU CL's initial mmap() - won't work unless you increase the limit on the data segment, e.g. with - ulimit -S -d 524288 - before you run CMU CL. The same is probably true of SBCL, but hasn't been - tested yet. (As of sbcl-0.7.3, SBCL has only been tested on OpenBSD 2.9 - and earlier.) +for NetBSD: + NetBSD 2.0 and above are required because of the lack of needed + signal APIs in NetBSD 1.6 and earlier.
