Ilisp for emacs-22

Ilisp folks,

Appended is a first diff that make SBCL in Ilisp snapshot work, after
a fashion.  It starts and evaluates fine, but the debugger is broken.
The debugger displays it's prompt twice, the cursor is left after the
first prompt.  Any attempt to enter things with the keyboard ends up
with a hung Lisp and the infamous 
"Abort commands before interrupting top level? (y or n)" when hitting
Control-C.  The session seems nonrecoverable.

The below is an example session, the last line is being displayed
after hitting Control-C (not shown):

Starting ,sbcl ...
:cl-user - Yes, Master? (+ 1 2)

3
:cl-user - Yes, Master? (+ 1 'foo)

debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "initial thread" {10\
00018D21}>:
  Argument Y is not a NUMBER: FOO

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
  0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

(SB-KERNEL:TWO-ARG-+ 1 FOO)
0] a

Re: Ilisp for emacs-22

Wow,  this is quite some time since an ILISP message got through.

I am afraid ILISP is quite smelly at this point to say the least.  At  
a certain point I passed the torch (let it drop more like it) and more  
recently I even decided to use SLIME on Emacs.

I am afraid there are not many people here who could help.  Sorry.

Cheers
