^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Has this issue been reported to sbcl upstream? I'm not sure whether PowerPC porters are necessarily experts on Lisp compilers such as SBCL.
Yes, upstream has been involved, but can't reproduce.To be totally clear, I'm not expecting porters to be experts on all compilers :). I (with my Release Team member hat on) expect them to work together with maintainers to figure out where port differences may lead to port specific issues when consulted (and even on their own account when they spot issues).
