It seems that what was meant to be a short test is evolving into=20
something more ;-).  I'll first try LSP which Stephan sent (because if=20
it works, we can stay with the =E2=80=9Cofficial=E2=80=9D builds), and ha=
ve a look at=20
the Delphin and the SBCL developers' list archive, for lack of time=20
probably only this weekend (because I'd like to have LKB running on my=20
Mac natively and possibly be able to play with changing it).

Google only knows of two recent  mentions of "fake_foreign_call fell=20
through" in chats, so it might have to do with the pretty new Intel Mac=20
version, I guess.

Another problem is that the scripts for loading GG set some values (like=20
"LAST-PARSES"), which aren't initialised if I load LKB in SBCL; I've=20
tried to guess appropriate values, but maybe I've messed up something,=20
that's why I've tried to load ERG first (i.e. get a working SBCL version=20
able to load big grammars).


Thanks again for your quick and helpful replies,
Bernhard
