GP Lisper has given the answer, but to answer this question about not
being able to find the the source, this is expected unless you've set
up everything and actually have the source available.

Basically, you need to have the sources somewhere and do something
like

(setf (search-list "target:") '("/path/to/src/"))

Then cmucl will be able to find the sources and give you the actual
source line/sexp for errors.
