I don't quite follow this comment (https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/12278/what-was-the-first-lisp-compiler#comment38427_12278) and Google is not being helpful: There's never been a LISP compiler. LISP "compilers" just dump memory. See the Emacs "nonportable dumper" catastrophe that was only fixed in the last couple years. What is the catastrophe that was fixed?
