19a should not require that patch, the issue has already been fixed.

i need you to try one more test:

CL-USER> (defparameter *j* 0)
*J*
CL-USER> (define-condition foo () 
           ((a :initform (incf *j*))))
FOO
CL-USER> (defmethod bar ((a a)) a)
BAR
CL-USER> *j*

if that last form returns 0, as it should, then the error is elswhere,
if it retruns 1 (as it does with the pcl bug) then you need to somehow
fix pcl (using cmucl 19a _should_ be enough).
