    Update to SBCL 1.0.57

    changes in sbcl-1.0.57 relative to sbcl-1.0.56:
      * RANDOM enhancements and bug fixes:
        ** bug fix: the range and distribution of random integers could be
           catastrophically wrong when the compiler derived the type of its
           argument as a disjoint set of small integers.
        ** bug fix: the distribution of random integers is now completely
           uniform even when the specified limit is not a power of two.
           (Previously some values could be about 0.1 % more probable than
           others in the worst case.)
        ** RANDOM on large integer arguments is generally faster and conses
           less than before; this is visible for fixnums above a length of
           about 24 bits, but extremely so for bignums: the old implementation
           used time and space quadratical in the size of the argument there,
           the new one is linear.
      * enhancement: redesigned protocol for quitting SBCL. SB-EXT:EXIT is the new
        main entry point, SB-EXT:QUIT is deprecated.
      * enhancement: additions to the SB-THREAD API: RETURN-FROM-THREAD,
        ABORT-THREAD, MAIN-THREAD-P, and MAIN-THREAD.
      * enhancement: FASL loading no longer grabs the world-lock.
      * enhancement: GENCGC reclaims space more aggressively when objects being
        allocated are a large fraction of the total available heap space.
        (lp#936304)
      * enhancement: backtraces show the correct number of arguments for frames
        called with too many arguments.
      * enhancement: support for abort(3), exit(3), and _exit(2) has been added to
        SB-POSIX.
      * enhancement: ASDF has been updated 2.21.
      * optimization: fewer uses of full calls to signed modular functions.
        (lp#903821)
      * optimization: typechecking alien values is typically 5 x faster.
      * optimization: FDEFINITION, SYMBOL-FUNCTION, MACRO-FUNCTION, and FBOUNDP
        are 20% faster.
      * bug fix: file compilation performance issues when dumping subtypes
        of CHARACTER (lp#994487)
      * bug fix: fixed disassembly of some SSE instructions on x86-64.
      * bug fix: SB-SIMPLE-STREAMS signals an error for bogus :CLASS arguments in
        OPEN. (lp#969352, thanks to Kambiz Darabi)
      * bug fix: CASE normal-clauses do not allow T and OTHERWISE as keys.
        (lp#959687)
      * bug fix: (SETF (FIND-CLASS X) NIL) removed proper name of the underlying
        classoid even if X was not the proper name of the class. (lp#941102)
      * bug fix: declaration leakage between lexical environments due to careless
        use of NCONC in MAKE-LEXENV. (lp#924276)
      * bug fix: ENSURE-DIRECTORIES-EXIST now works when
        *default-pathname-defaults* contains NAME or TYPE components.
      * bug fix: PPRINT couldn't print improper lists with CARs being some symbols
        from CL package, e.g. (loop . 10).
      * bug fix: run-program with existent or non-existent files for :output or
        :input when :if-output-exists or :if-input-does-not-exist are NIL properly
        returns NIL instead of signalling an obscure error.
      * bug fix: fix miscompilation of some logand forms with large constant
        arguments.  (lp#974406)
      * bug fix: account for funcallable-instance objects properly in ROOM.
      * bug fix: incorrect octets reported for c-string decoding errors.
        (lp#985505)
      * bug fix: miscompilation of LDB on the PowerPC platform.  (thanks to Bruce
        O'Neel)
      * bug fix: better input error reporting for COMPILE-FILE. (lp#493380)
      * bug fix: default size of non-nursery generations has been shrunk on GENCGC,
        allowing faster release of memory back to the OS. (lp#991293)
      * bug fix: WITH-DEADLINE (:SECONDS NIL :OVERRIDE T) now drops any
        existing deadline for the dynamic scope of its body.
      * bug fix: compiler-internal interval arithmetic needed to be more
        conservative about open intervals when operated on by monotonic but not
        strictly-monotonic functions.  (lp#975528)
      * bug fix: copy-tree caused stack exhaustion on long linear lists, and now
        it's also slightly faster. (lp#998926)
      * bug fix: better error messages for malformed declarations.
        (lp#1000239)
      * bug fix: define-condition didn't return the name of the defined condition.
      * documentation:
        ** improved docstrings: REPLACE (lp#965592)
