Nah, we just call it a feature.  :-)
Seriously though, remember that lispm's are single user machines, so even if
you REALLY mess up and the system's debugging facilities can't save you (they
usually can - my Symbolics debugging aids are many times more powerful/helpful
than those on Lucid CL on my Sun) - even if you have to reboot, you don't kill
anyone else.
