The big problem is to find a simple way to reproduce it, I haven't one.
I have sent a bug report (for GCL-2.7) to Camm ("Disparition of a
condition ?") and it may be similar to the one in gcl-2.6.8pre so... The
big problem is that I'm alone with this bug, Bill and Waldek does not
have this bug. The bug is (on 2.6.8):

(1) -> )set br query
(1) -> 1/0
 
   >> Error detected within library code:
   division by zero


   You have two options. Enter:
     top        to return to top level, or
     break      to enter a LISP break loop.

   Please enter your choice now:

Normally we have three choices... (and the code looks correct, I don't
understand).

I dropped support of GCL, but that does not mean I don't want to support
GCL. The code on which I'm working is destined to be included on a
version that supports GCL.
