Strange and nasty error in OS X

Hi,

On occasion when I'm running Hunchentoot in LW 5.5.1 when I quit LW  
when trying to restart LW I get the following error:

Lisp executable xfasl-image.static apparently corrupted. (Truncated?)  
Cannot restart.

I'm having to copy the LispWorks.app from a backup overtop the version  
in /Applications/...

Any idea what might be causing this?

I've asked the Hunchentoot mailing list as well.

Cheers,
Bob



Re: Strange and nasty error in OS X

Hi there,

Yes, this is Leopard's weird security system. In the firewall settings  
of your system, don't select "Set access for specific services and  
applications", but only either "Allow all incoming connections" or  
"Allow only essential services."

Leopard stores firewall settings per application in the application  
file itself when you select the wrong option here, and this destroys  
the LispWorks image.
