A friend asked me for posting this
(he has no permission to post)

# When I used the PCL-package I have found the following problem :
# I created with the function 'make-instance' my own instances for classes
# I have written. They are named i.e. #<object10000000>. 
# During the program runs the names for the instances changed, that is the
# numbers changed to i.e. #<object99999999>. 
# This happens for all the instances for one class.
# Even old pointers to the instances return the same, new numbers.
#
# As I want to save the instances as strings on harddisc, sometimes they 
# change during the saving. So the same instance has   2 numbers on the disc.
#
# Finally I have to say that I use 
#	- Sun Common Lisp, Version 3.01 base
#	- Sun PCL package
#	- CLX package.
#
# If someone could help me send a message to me. 
# Thanks
#	Klaus Wagner

So long,
