Well it's mostly a problem in packages I'm installing through
common-lisp-controller in Gentoo Linux.  They now fail from time to time
through warnings, and I've never seen this before.  It seems like too
big of a coincidence for this to be caused just by most packages
generating full warnings now when they didn't before...

Oh well, I guess reality is weirder than fiction. ;)
