LOAD merges the filename string with the path name
*DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS*.  So if your filename doesn't contain
a type, it will have the type component of *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS*
added, which is ".lsp".

The solution is to put in your "init.lsp" file:

 (setq *default-pathname-defaults* #P"temp.lisp")
