🚀 go-pugleaf

A distribution world is being booted. I run the DEFINE SITE command.
The full accept-values is display after entering a host name. None of
the values is changed (I take all the defaults) then end. The stack trace
contains:

string-length 3 is not a string
parse-integer 3 :junk-allowed t
cl-neti:create-site
...

Looking at the sources on the machine (are they current? dunno)
it doesn't appear that this error could occur as the call to parse-integer
is protected by a (if (stringp minor) ... )

I'm also working off 8.1 docs. I presume the setup process hasn't
changed greatly in 8.3

Thanks in advance,
Greg
