[trivial-timeout-devel] clozure cl doesn't recognize dynamic variables

7 Apr 2011

      Hi,

Using `with-timeout' with Clozure-CL results in the following bug, in
which the dynamic value of special variables are not recognized inside
of the `with-timeout' macro.

#+begin_src common-lisp
  (defvar *echo* :default)

  (let ((*echo* :special))
    (format t "~&outside echo:~a" *echo*) ;; => outside echo:SPECIAL
    (with-timeout (1)
      (format nil "~&inside echo:~a" *echo*))) ;; => "inside echo:DEFAULT"
#+end_src

Best -- Eric
