Double woops - its been a long day.

| Woops...
|
| |   1. The in-package error reporting when the package doesn't
| | exist.  The error message about "not of type string" is
| | misleading to say the least; I ran into the problem the other day
| | while trying to compile the *Lisp emulator.  Unfortunately I'm
| | uncertain whether this goes against anything you or Paul have
| | been doing with your ANSIification work.  It is a simple fix and
| | I am happy to do that if you wish.
|
| What was once broken is in fact now working - sorry Camm.

It turns out that what I was thinking of was the intern problem recorded by
Bruno Haible.  Fixed in HEAD - Put into stable:

$ cvs diff o/package.d
Index: o/package.d
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/gcl/gcl/o/package.d,v
retrieving revision 1.19
diff -r1.19 package.d

<       FEwrong_type_argument(TSor_symbol_string_package,n);

>   FEpackage_error(n,"A package with this name does not exist");
