Work on the CLOS/AMOP has created weird errors that require removing 
fasls over the past several months, but it seems to have stablized 
somewhat across revisions.  So, please, if something stops working in 
mysterious ways across svn revs, please do a full rebuild (and get take 
a break) while you recursively remove "~/.slime" and "~/.cache" before 
you tear too much hair out.

I've been able to reproduce on oracle-jdk-1.7.0_05 running on 
x86_64-osx-10.8 so have filed this as [ticket #229][#229].

@Alan:  I'd appreciate you checking my logic on 
JSS:WITH-CONSTANT-SIGNATURE, as you can see from [r13937] when I fixed 
[#205], my previous understanding of what that macro should do was 
completely (and dangerously wrong).

I will try to get some cycles later today to at this bug.
