I doubt my patch is a solution to whatever the underlying problem actually is, given that it doesn't change the default behavior under SBCL/Linux. But it is useful inasmuch as it lets me set *sleepycat-pthreads-path* to nil and continue development. Fixing the real problem would be even better, of course, so good luck with your investigation. :) -pinterface > Thank you! > Ian > > pinterface wrote: > > Hello again. > > > > Unrelated to my previous patch, while finally loading elephant onto a > > threaded SBCL, I had some problems with compiling ele-bdb throwing me into > > SBCL's ldb debugger.
