[lkb] GNU clisp and generation

[John Carroll]

Havard,

In December last year I made a change to how the LKB generator keeps 
track of the MRS EPs it has covered and ones it still has left to do. 
The new approach uses the Lisp functions logior and logtest. I suspect 
the precompiled Windows binary you tried pre-dates this change.

I'll try and find this bug. How large is your grammar? Would you be 
able to email it to me and I'll see if I can find out what's going 
wrong?
