I'd guess that it tried to open a file descriptor to "/local/fare/lib/exscr=
ibe.image"
got an error return (-2 =3D (- #$ENOENT) =3D "No such file or directory"), =
then tried
to execute a chmod operation on a bogus file descriptor.  Clearly it'd be b=
etter
if it told you that some component of the pathname didn't exist, and it sho=
uld
check for this pretty early (before SAVE-APPLICATION has done much of anyth=
ing.)

Things after a "--" on the command line aren't parsed by the default lisp
command line parsing code; anything after a "--" is available in
CCL:*UNPROCESSED-COMMAND-LINE-ARGUMENTS*.

This was introduced in the 060530 images.

there will be new snapshots soon.  (Any Day Now, as I've been saying for
the last 5-6 weeks.)
