Yes. There was a typo in src/cmp/cmplam.lsp which lead to an infinite
loop whenever a lambda-form with &optional arguments was inlined. That
happens, for instance, when using call-next-method without arguments,
because of the precise macroexpansion used by the CLOS system.

I have fixed this bug in CVS.
