Horrible CM archive bug!

[Rick Taube]

depending on the value of *pprint-archive*, cm uses either WRITE or PPRINT
to print the external form of an object. The default for *pprint-archive*
is nil.  If your value is T try setting it to nil. If the problem presists
(I cant remember if WRITE respects *print-length* or not and I dont have a
cltl2 handy) then I guess archive-object should rebind that variable. In
that event, try changing its definition to

(defun archive-object (objects pathname &key (verbose t)
                                              (pprint *pprint-archive*))
  (let ((*print-length* nil))
    <CODE>
    ))
