Steel Bank Common Lisp

I couldn't get sbcl to work on UML, because my UML didn't support NPTL. Does yours?

I ended up switching to a Xen server.

Apparently not, at least according to my providers support forum,
turns out that others have had the same problem with other
software. Looks like I'm stuck unless anyone has any clever ideas?

    cheers

My last provider said that NPTL support was supposed to be on its way for UML, 
but did not give an ETA.

Like I mentioned before, I switched to a provider running Xen. I can't vouch for 
it's stability, but it is running slime/sbcl/tbnl fine, and it's MUCH faster 
than UML.
