I've tried this with both (in-package "MATLISP") and (in-package
"MATLISP-USER") with the same result (below).  One observation: at home,
on my Gentoo machine, I have SBCL 0.8.21 and have gone through the same
procedure.  It complains identically down to the bit about "printed 5
notes", but then prints the correct help output.  Also, it *seems* that
in both cases, the installation itself is alright.  If I type (rand 1),
for example, I get an appropriate output.  Would indicate that it is
just something broken with the man system?
