I have a self-contained directory that has only the QI files needed to reproduce the problem. In it there is a subdirectory called JAR where you should place the ABCL jar file of your choice. _COMPILE.bat compiles files and then loads them; it hangs trying to load the fourth file. _BUILD.bat uses the same files but just loads the lisp sources; it works.
I have all this in a 16KB zip file ready to go. Where do you want it?

Hi Greg,

I recently became interested in the language QI. Â Since it did not run on ABCL (it does on SBCL, Allegro, LispWorks and others), I decided to see what it would take to move it there.

When I tried the standard script with compiles and then loads the compiled files, ABCL hangs it what appears to be an infinite loop try to load one of the compiled files. Â When I switch to just loading them in as Lisp
sources,
things seem to work (though some of the QI tests later fail).
I tried the compile/load script under 0.24.0 today and the same hang
happens.
I have a small test case consisting only of the needed sources and a couple of .bat files for Windows that demonstrates the problem, but before I proceed further, has anyone seem anything like this. Â The file in question DEFUNs about 85 functions. Â Is that too many to provoke the "large file" problem I see mentioned here?
Could you provide us with a transcript for downloading/installing Qi so we/I can test?
If this is the same old bug, the ball is really in Qi's park, but if it's not, we're really happy to fix what we can!
Thanks!
Bye,
Erik.
