[lkb] GNU clisp and generation

[Ann Copestake]

it seems to me as though a recent update has broken the capacity to generate 
with some grammars, possibly just those which don't have a `full' MRS (i.e., 
those with no handles).  The Windows version is lagging the Linux version 
which is why you don't see a problem there.  If this is right you could move 
back to an older Linux version as a temporary fix.  I hope someone else will 
track the problem down - if not I will have a look myself but I won't be able 
to do it for at least a week,
