RE: First * usage fails with LW

Hi Edi,

With ILISP-CVS & Emacs21.2.1 & CLISP2.30 I get the following=20
(correct) results:

Starting c:/bin/clisp-2.30/lisp.exe -B c:/bin/clisp-2.30/ -M
c:/bin/clisp-2.30/lispinit.mem -ansi -q ...
ILISP V5.12.0  Use M-x ilisp-bug for problems and suggestions.
[1]>=20
[2]> (+ 42 42)
84
[11]> (+ 42 *)
126
[12]>=20

Unfortunately, I don't have a console version of LispWorks,=20
so I can't reproduce the issue with LispWorks. Have you tried
doing the same process but without loading the other libraries
on startup (asdf, defsystem, etc) to make certain they aren't=20
the culprit?
