A related bug is this. See the following code:

     (print x))
#<STANDARD-METHOD DISPLAY (NIL)>

42

This, of course, should not happen. On the one hand, 'nil is not  
specified to be a class according to ANSI Common Lisp. On the other  
hand, even if it is a class (which is acceptable according to ANSI  
CL, IIUC), methods that are specialized on the class nil should never  
be applicable because no object can be of type 'nil.
