Re: disassemble error on Mac OS X Sierra

That fixed the hang up, here's the results:

[1]> (setq sys::*disassemble-use-live-process* nil)

** - Continuable Error
SETQ(SYSTEM::*DISASSEMBLE-USE-LIVE-PROCESS*): #<PACKAGE SYSTEM> is locked
If you continue (by typing 'continue'): Ignore the lock and proceed
The following restarts are also available:
ABORT          :R1      Abort main loop
Break 1 [2]> continue
NIL
[3]> (DISASSEMBLE #'SYMBOL-NAME)
/tmp/gdbcomm86569:3: Error in sourced command file:
No function contains specified address.
NIL

How can I get the variable, sys::*disassemble-use-live-process*, set 
"permanently"?
