least permitted and maybe required by AMOP). As a consolation,
however, the SBCL implementation of these functions now calls
REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE as specified by AMOP.
+ * bug fix: REINITIALIZE-INSTANCE on generic functions calls
+ COMPUTE-DISCRIMINATING-FUNCTION (almost) unconditionally, as
+ specified by AMOP.
* bug fix: it is now possible to have more than one subclass of
STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION without causing stack overflow.

* bug fix: *COMPILE-FILE-PATHNAME* now contains the user's pathname
merged with *DEFAULT-PATHNAME-DEFAULTS*.
+ * enhancement: the x86-64 disassembler is much better at
+ disassembling SSE instructions. (thanks to Lutz Euler)
+ * optimization: improved performance of EUC-JP external format.

* optimization: performance improvements to IO on file streams of
:ELEMENT-TYPE CHARACTER
+ * optimization: much faster memory allocation on x86-64
+ * optimization: faster garbage collections (latency and throughput)
+ on gencgc
+ * optimization: faster bignum subtraction and division on x86 and x86-64

changes in sbcl-0.9.6 relative to sbcl-0.9.5:
* bug fix: add a workaround to SBCL looping infinitely at startup on
(thanks to Richard Kreuter)
* bug fix: defining classes whose accessors are methods on existing
generic functions in other (locked) packages no longer signals
- bogus package lock violations. (reported by François-René Rideau)

* bug fix: special variables as DEFMETHOD parameters no longer have
associated bogus type declarations. (reported by David Wragg and
