Sorry, that very naive:  Axiom in many places makes unportable
assumptions.   So, in most cases when code works in one Lisp but
fails in another the code is wrong.  FYI SBCL caught a number
of bugs that were hidden when running under gcl (some of them
were likely to give you "memory may be damaged" message).

Do not take this message personally, but I am concerned by
general attitude presented on this list: people here frequently 
ignore important practical problems.
