Right -- a typo, but an innocuous one in context (that is, the
"normal" user won't be expecting send-snd to return a value in
the run loop) -- thanks for pointing it out to me.

Humph! I can't believe that anyone really intended to make
string constants illegal in lisp. And even if they did, no
lisp implementor should cooperate.

I'll have to fire up the thing (at home) and get back to you.
One thing I'd greatly appreciate in projects like this would be
a document describing the changes (from cmu-cl in this case),
or even better, some stab at providing backwards compatibility.
The current Common Lisp situation is extremely annoying in this
regard -- every Clisp version, for example, is backwards incompatible,
and ACL changes its FFI constantly. Most of these changes
(package names, for example), strike me as purely cosmetic
and unnecessary.
