FYI - CLISP 2.33 support seems to be broken in CVS. Here's the contents

of

the *inferior-lisp* buffer when I attempt to load CLISP:

[snip]

Current point in control string: Value: ~D = #x~X = #o~O = #b~:,,' ,8B = ~E | Break 1 SWANK[2]>

I think this control string is legal and CLISP is broken.

I added a IMO fixed version of CLISP's format string parser to swank-clisp.lisp. The patch against the CLISP source file is attached below, in case somebody has the motivation to report the bug to the CLISP developers.
