It seems to be working, barring a slightly annoying compilation error for SPLIT-SEQUENCE (probably SBCL-version-dependent, as the warning I get is: The class SB-PRETTY:PRETTY-STREAM was not changed, and there's no guarantee that the loaded code (which expected another layout) will work.
I *THINK* this is an error related to SBCL + SLIME. I've seen this before (not with noctool, but other packages) where when some package is compiled under SLIME and loaded not under slime or vice-versa this error pops up. Try recompiling all of your sources and see if you still get this (very obnoxious) error.
Let's leave things as they are, for now, since it actually seems to work (not that I understand why, but my head if mostly full of network audits at the moment).
Yeah... I'm not awake enough yet to grok it fully either ;P
ttyl, Jim
