-281: COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD error signalling.
- (slightly obscured by a non-0 default value for
- SB-PCL::*MAX-EMF-PRECOMPUTE-METHODS*)
- It would be natural for COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD to signal errors
- when it finds a method with invalid qualifiers. However, it
- shouldn't signal errors when any such methods are not applicable to
- the particular call being evaluated, and certainly it shouldn't when
- simply precomputing effective methods that may never be called.
- (setf sb-pcl::*max-emf-precompute-methods* 0)
- (defgeneric foo (x)
- (:method-combination +)
- (:method ((x symbol)) 1)
- (:method + ((x number)) x))
- (foo 1) -> ERROR, but should simply return 1
-
- The issue seems to be that construction of a discriminating function
- calls COMPUTE-EFFECTIVE-METHOD with methods that are not all applicable.

+380: Accessor redefinition fails because of old accessor name
+ When redefining an accessor, SB-PCL::FIX-SLOT-ACCESSORS may try to
+ find the generic function named by the old accessor name using
+ ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION and then remove the old accessor's method in
+ the GF. If the old name does not name a function, or if the old name
+ does not name a generic function, no attempt to find the GF or remove
+ any methods is made.
+
+ However, if an unrelated GF with an incompatible lambda list exists,
+ the class redefinition will fail when SB-PCL::REMOVE-READER-METHOD
+ tries to find and remove a method with an incompatible lambda list
+ from the unrelated generic function.

+381: incautious calls to EQUAL in fasl dumping
+ Compiling
+ (frob #(#1=(a #1#)))
+ (frob #(#1=(b #1#)))
+ (frob #(#1=(a #1#)))
+ in sbcl-0.9.0 causes CONTROL-STACK-EXHAUSTED. My (WHN) impression
+ is that this follows from the use of (MAKE-HASH-TABLE :TEST 'EQUAL)
+ to detect sharing, in which case fixing it might require either
+ getting less ambitious about detecting shared list structure, or
+ implementing the moral equivalent of EQUAL hash tables in a
+ cycle-tolerant way.
