You must be using a simple-streams implementation from another lisp.
Allegro CL doesn't have a KERNEL package.

What you're seeing above is a bug; you should report it to that
lisp's support team.

I'm using CMUCL (I thought I mentioned that). If this is indeed a bug, I
will see what I can do to let them know about it.

Or fix it yourself. It is, after all, free software - it should be
easy :-)

s/easy/possible/

More accurately:

s/easy :-)/possible./


We never claimed it would be easy, but that it'd be possible.

A little testy, are we, in the face of a joke? It was my little jab
at the obviously long-winded and sometimes irate posturing being done
elsewhere on this NG. But wait a minute, isn't it someone like me
that should have the right to be irritated - I who put my livlihood
on the line with no other source of income, in spite of strong
competition from many free software vendors? Nah, let's just let it
go...
