Kenny,

When running cells::cv-test I hit a breakloop; the cells docs say that this means something's wrong.

Just for a sanity check (and because I'm considering whether to use cells for some knowledge modeling in a personal project) I tried running the tests from Lispworks, and broke in exactly the same way. The output below is copied from OpenMCL 0.14.1, but is exactly the same (modulo object numbers and break prompts) as that from Lispworks:

Ah, that's one I had fixed for a while and then for some reason decided to break again. I am fixing it over here, but you can just either:

1. move on to try lesson-14 or starter; or

2. In c-break and c-calculate-and-set, change BREAK to ERROR

Lispworks is right, ACL is wrong: break should land you in the debugger regardless of any errors. What I am doing in a few places during CV-TEST is deliberately coding usage errors with Cells to confirm user errors are signalled, but then I want the test to run to completion, so I trap the errors and actually signal a "test-failed" error if no error gets trapped. Under ACL the /real/ Cell error gets signalled with break and the test can trap it, but that is wrong.
