I can't resolve it. If you have macros which influence the meaning of forms you are compiling, the macro needs to be loaded before you compile. What you are reporting seems like a typical symptom of failing to load the macro in question before compiling. A workaround would be to make sure you eval the macro definition before compiling. I'm not sure what the bug really is. Perhaps it would be useful to get a warning when compiling / evaling something when a macro +is+ in effect and the file you are compiling is not pulling it in properly? Then at least you get a hint to fix it while you still can, while those who do it right will not experience any adverse effects. /* era */ -- The email address era the contact information Just for kicks, imagine at iki dot fi is heavily link on my home page at what it's like to get spam filtered.
