Let me just say that I agree.  The hows and whens of /maybe/
re-establishing Hunchentoot-specific error handling are still open due
to lack of time (and that's one of the main reasons holding back a new
release).  But generally I think that CL has maybe the best condition
system of all programming languages I know and we all don't use it
enough.  In an ideal world, *break-on-signals* would be the right
solution to this problem.  (And, yes, I've also used ignore-errors in
places we I shouldn't have.)

Edi.
