Hi Jim.
The error that you described is probably in the non-cvs version,
1.2.35 I think.
I suggest you to download 1.2.42 via cvs.
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=32760 shows the commands you need.

I did not try to compile it with sbcl 1.0 but the version before,
sbcl 0.9.18 reported no problem. But even if you see a package lock,
then you can safely continue and ignore it (in the debugger).
