I'll run the tests under Debian Etch on an amd64. The same box is
running in 32-bit Windows XP, and I have SBCL 1.0 and the last
evaluation version of Lispworks, so i'll try to help making it work
under Windows.

FWIW, I will probably need Windows support, as I'll deploy applications
on Windows systems in the near future, for my customers. And Elephant is
a bliss when it comes to store a complex graph of objects. :-)

I can at least give a test that used to fail for me without the locking
patch I just sent: get Elephant to be called by a multi-threaded web
server like Araneida or Hunchentoot and stuff the server with parallel
requests fast (I used Apache's benchmarking tool).

Quickly,
Pierre
