Dependency version alarm bells ring because the nibbles version is 20180831-git. Any ideas?

According to the backtrace, you are using SBCL 1.3.14. which is pretty old.

You could try 3 things (any of them should solve the problem):

• Update SBCL to a more recent version.
• Use a version of Nibbles patched with Fix for old versions of SBCL nibbles#6.
• Use the master branch of Ironclad.

Ironclad 0.48 is now in quicklisp, so this issue should not happen anymore.
