Well, actually I prefer to wait until this bug is fixed
(I'm writing on the premise that the bug belongs to SBCL
not the Linux 2.4).

In the meantime, I installed SBCL 0.8.16 from the testing
Debian repository which installed and worked fine.

I did not intend to upgrade to the latest SBCL had it not
produce an error regarding with-output-to-string. The
details are at:

http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_frm/thread/a87893925ce0a19a/29f5bbdc04678248

I think I'll prefer waiting, since this is a major
issue, hoping the fix is going to come very soon.
