Does anyone have any experience running the emacs-Lisp interface of
ACL6 under xemacs?

I have xemacs 21.1, which has

  emacs-version => "21.1 (patch 14) \"Cuyahoga Valley\" XEmacs Lucid"

I get an error upon startup, an error which looks like it occurs
during parsing of the above string.  ELI continues past the error, but
this is the sort of thing I like to correct or at least paste over for 
the benefit of concerned onlookers.

Since the manual states

  The most common cause of other strange or unexplained behavior is
  using the Emacs-Lisp interface with a version of Emacs other than
  the one distributed with Allegro CL. The Emacs-Lisp interface is
  only supported on that specific version.

I know I can't get any support from Franz on this one.

Everything is fine on GNU Emacs 19.34.1 which has

  emacs-version => "19.34.1"

so I suspect this comes from xemacs' baroque syntax for emacs-version.
Accordingly, I would think the appropriate fix is to patch xemacs'
implementation of emacs-version to nuke some of the extraneous
verbiage, at least locally while ELI is getting started.  If someone
else has been here before, please let me know how you handled it.
