Welcome back to Common-Lisp. I am speculating, but sbcl needs to be built with threads enabled in order for threads to work. I am not sure if sbcl threads are supported for OS-X? Are threads-support a requirement for the green color? You can always try openmcl, or sbcl in a virtualbox/vmware/parallels linux (my personal choice). Or maybe do without threads while developing.

Many thanks, Henrik. What a wonderful idea, one of which I should have thought! That's where I'm going, today.
If you're on a PowerPC Macintosh, then sbcl likely will not compile with threads enabled. When I'm working on darwin/ppc, I use Clozure with excellent results.
Kind Regards,
