On Windows XP SP3 I tried to load quicklisp.lisp using mkcl an it errors out near the bottom of the file at:<br>(setf *default-pathname-defaults* (truename *default-pathname-defaults*))<br><br>Apparently *default-pathname-defaults* defaults to &quot;&quot;.  Is that intentional?  From the hyperspec it says that it&#39;s implementation dependent but that many will store the path where the repl was started in.<br>
