Duh! I should have realized ... thanks.

You it works. Great job. I think this is a great step forward
for a fully ANSI-compliant common lisp implementation of Axiom.
I can't resist to ask: Have you tried building this version of
Axiom with GCL in ANSI mode?

Bill Page.

PS. Could you explain the phrase: "Kitten of Death" :-)

Example output of axiom-sbcl-win on my Windows system:

This is SBCL 1.0, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
