+  This bug was fixed in sbcl-0.7.4.1 by invalidating the PCL wrapper
+  class upon redefinition. Unfortunately, doing so causes bug #176 to
+  appear.  Pending further investication, one or other of these bugs
+  might be present at any given time.

+182: "SPARC/Linux floating point"
+  Evaluating (/ 1.0 0.0) at the prompt causes a Bus error and complete
