I think this control string is legal and CLISP is broken.
It's not, and clisp is quite right, though its error message is somewhat poor. In SBCL:
* (format nil "~:,,' ,8B" 1)
debugger invoked on a SB-FORMAT:FORMAT-ERROR in thread 3429: error in FORMAT: parameters found after #\: or #\@ modifier ~:,,' ,8B ^ See also: The ANSI Standard, Section 22.3
I see. Had to read it twice before I got it. Thanks. Helmut.
