Hi,

This looks like a bug in LW (LW for Windows 4.1.14).

CL-USER 1 > (SETF (READTABLE-CASE *READTABLE*) :PRESERVE)
:PRESERVE
CL-USER 2 > (SYMBOL-NAME 'Gaga)
"GAGA"

ACL 5.1 and MCL 4.3 return the expected "Gaga". Am I missing
something?
Maybe it is time for Xanalys to come up with a Modern LW?

- Paul

This bug was fixed somewhere between 4.1.14 and 4.1.19.

LWW 4.1.19 returns "Gaga" as well.

The latest patches, maybe?

Thanks for pointing this out. I had checked the readme file for the
latest patches and didn't find this bug mentioned. So fortunately,
there is no need for a Modern LW.

It is a bug.  Fixed in patch bundle 15, I think.  You've got 14, the
latest one is 19.
