Liam,

That is good news.  You caught me as I was debugging as well. 

I was originally doing the problem on clisp+cygwin.  I am going to continue on sbcll+linux.  In addition, I rewrote the problem to use the vanderpol equations that are already present in the ode-example.lisp file.

speculation: On clisp+cygwin, it looks as if marray values are not being passed in and out of apply-step.  For example, if I pre-load dydt-out with some arbitrary values before calling apply-step, it will contain those same values after the call.  I would have expected it to contain the values at the new time step.

On clisp+cygwin I did not install the fsbv library: I understood that it was not essential for gsll

Again, I will redo this on sbcl, and compare traces.

#<VECTOR-DOUBLE-FLOAT #(0.019998666683333333d0 0.9998000058333055d0)>

which superficially looks right to me.
