'
if you do LISTING T in the compiler, the output of the first pass is much less legible than it used to be. Dunno what happened. Maybe something got lost last edit of BYTECOMPILER?'

Somewhere in the course of Ron''s edit to the hasharray creation call, some properties in the bytecompiler got messed up; what used to have'

(PUTPROPS FN MLSYM (%[ %] FN))'
'
turned into'
(PUTPROPS FN MLSYM (NIL FN))'
'
I don''t know how or why this happened, which is a separate (mysterious) AR.'
'
Ron, do you have any idea how this got smashed, i.e., were you manipulating the file with any odd mechanisms?'

Edit got dropped and BYTECOMPILER in this mornings <LispCore>Next> sysouts still have call to NOT↑H instead of NOT. '
'
Fixed in next loadup. Workaround for u.d.f. NOT↑H is to MOVD(NOT NOT↑V↑H).'

My edit was a perfectly vanilla EDITCALLERS-MAKEFILE.  I have no idea how that could have gotten messed up--unless a previous file in the EDITCALLERS clobbered the FILERDTBL in some way.  Hard to believe, but if there is a clobbering expression for FILERDTBL somewhere, we''d better find it and make sure that it is an INITVARS or the equivalent.'
