Gustavo's patch to change binding-default-specials breaks Uncommon Web's internal httpd during startup::

The value #\T is not of type LIST. [Condition of type TYPE-ERROR]

Restarts: 0: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request. 1: [ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level. 2: [TERMINATE-THREAD] Terminate this thread (#<THREAD "repl-thread" RUNNING {B1FEE61}>)

Backing out the following patches makes things functional again:

Mon Mar 30 09:47:23 EDT 2009 Stelian Ionescu sionescu@common-lisp.net * *default-special-bindings* now defaults to NIL, move I/O bindings to *standard-io-bindings*.

Mon Mar 30 09:25:06 EDT 2009 Stelian Ionescu sionescu@common-lisp.net * Use forms(and EVAL) instead of funtions to yield values for thread-local bindings.

Sat Mar 21 19:29:26 EDT 2009 Stelian Ionescu sionescu@common-lisp.net * Clean bordeaux-threads.asd up.

Sat Mar 14 11:31:08 EDT 2009 Gustavo gugamilare@gmail.com * Fix use of REMOVE-DUPLICATES in BINDING-DEFAULT-SPECIALS.

... pretty sure it's a case of the computer doing what you say and not what you mean, but at any rate, I thought I should let you folks know.

Kind Regards.,
