Re: [Gcl-devel] Problems with miultiple-value-setq, multiple-value-prog1

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  I've just cleared this -- thankfully it was not an issue
with the garbage collector, which continues to prove quite robust
under inspections like these thus far.  GCL has a static array for
holding multiple-values returned by functions, and this array was
being silently overrun by the new tests.  I've protected against this
with error conditions where appropriate, increased the max number of
values to 50, and uncommented these tests in your two files.

Take care,
