New v338 of muSE available
Note that v338 has been replaced by v343, which contains a minor fix to the exception handling code. Prior to the introduction of finally, an expresion such as (try (raise 'error)) probably indicated a programming error since no handlers were specified. With finally however, a try without handlers is valid since it may install finalizers using finally.
