There were other instances that made it clear that “#218#” was being printed 
where “,” was intended, including with the lack of space before whatever 
followed that’s normal for a comma (e.g., “#218##219#” where #219# referred to 
some ordinary symbol).

I’ve just uploaded a workaround for that (including a comma-dot sequence that 
I’m not familiar with, but which seems to get the same treatment as comma and 
comma-at), and a bug fix I found relating to one of my earlier changes.

Now, with your patch to avoid unexec, it’s successfully compiling in the lisp 
directory but fails in leim, which I haven’t dug into yet:
