I'm trying to save a lisp-image for fast later restarting of work, but I'm
encountering difficulties.

The Lisp that I'm using is CMUCL (which I understand is no longer being
supported).  The documentation indicates that something like the following
should work:

    [from within Lisp:]

    * (extensions:save-lisp "lcore")

    * (quit)

    [now back in the shell]

    % lisp -core=lcore

    *

But nothing that I had done gets saved.  E.g. if a function "foo" (which,
say, prints "hello, world") or a variable "x" (with, say, the value 3)
had been defined before the save, they don't appear after reloading of the
core-file.

In case machine-type or whatever may be significant, I note that executing
"uname -a" on the machine that I'm using yields:

	SunOS pelican 5.3 Generic_101318-32 sun4m sparc


Do you have any suggestions, please?
