;;; * LIST-POINTER-LOWTAG + 4 = OTHER-POINTER-LOWTAG: NIL is both a
;;; cons and a symbol (at the same address) and depends on this.
;;; See the definition of SYMBOL in objdef.lisp
+;;; * OTHER-POINTER-LOWTAG > 4: Some code in the SPARC backend,
+;;; which uses bit 2 of the ALLOC register to indicate that
+;;; PSEUDO-ATOMIC is on, doesn't strip the low bits of reg_ALLOC
+;;; before ORing in OTHER-POINTER-LOWTAG within a PSEUDO-ATOMIC
+;;; section.

+;;; constrained for more than a decade, an inviting target for
+;;; inventive abstraction-phobic maintainers.:-)
