It means it has dynamic binding.  Look in a Lisp book or ask in
comp.lang.lisp.

In that case, you can say one of the following:

(defvar arraysize <value>)
(defparameter arraysize <value>)
(defconstant arraysize <value>)

Read in a Lisp book or CLHS what the difference is.  Since you say
it's a global constant, then defconstant is probably what you want.
And this should probably happen exactly once, and definitely before
you compile the file that gives the warning.
