Hi all,

I want to train a generation reranking model following the steps 
described here: http://moin.delph-in.net/LogonModeling "Generation model 
from non-treebanked underspecified MRSs". When performing the feature 
caching step (./load --binary fc.g.lisp), the process is terminated with 
the following error message:

Error: about to bind C to NIL, which is not of type CHARACTER.
   [condition type: TYPE-ERROR]

Thanks very much in advance for any help.
Best wishes,
Dominikus
