[Gbbopen-list] Losing events

[Gary King]

Hi Paul,

This isn't GBBopen specific but I've experienced bugs like this in  
the past and eventually figured out that the problem was package  
related. I.e., I had two symbols package-1::symbol and  
package-2::symbol; my code expected package-1::symbol but I was  
generating package-2::symbol and so things didn't work as I expected.  
Using ~s instead ~a for printing can help you notice this if it is  
the problem.

HTH,

by the way, what Lisp are you using?
