problem using ilisp with gcl

I am trying to get ilisp (have tried 5.12.0 and 20020702 snapshot) 
working with gcl 2.4.3 using emacs 21.2.1. Here is what happens. I start 
by visiting a Lisp file. Emacs shows Lisp-mode and *Messages* shows:
Loading ilisp-luc...done
Loading ilisp-sch...done
Loading ilisp-openmcl...done
Loading ilisp-ccl...done
Running ilisp-load-hook
Loading menu interface.
'ilisp-*enable-cl-easy-meny-p*' is t
Loading ilisp-cl-easy-menu...done
Loading ild...done
Loading ilisp-imenu...done

but the menu bar remains generic. Then if I try M-x run-ilisp, and I 
answer the dialect prompt with gcl, the 2nd window appears with normal 
gcl startup messages, but there are two '>' prompts instead of one. Then 
I see a watch cursor and emacs freezes-up (has to be killed). I will 
post the ilisp section of my .emacs if that would help. Would I be 
better off if I fell back to emacs 20?
Thanks in advance,
-- David
