-changes relative to sbcl-1.1.6
-  * bug fix: modular arithmetic involving large constants and conditionals
-    should no longer result in spurious dead code elimination. Reported by 
-    Eric Marsden on sbcl-devel.
-  * bug fix: our mach exception handler can seemingly called very early in
-    the program execution process on OS X 10.8.0. Try and handle that case
-    robustly, without potentially leaking mach ports too much.
