Doh.  Figured this one out about two minutes after I sent the message.
                                                                      
It was really odd, too, because the macro looked right, but it wasn't 
finding the variable correctly for the DEFCONSTANT expression...

sbcl-0.6.10 seems to be working fine (I set it compiling about two    
hours ago and no problems yet).

luck.

Arg!  Get everything working and then a new version comes out. :)     
                                                                      
If sourceforge refuses to cooperate with you, could you post the two  
download links:                                                       
                                                                      
http://download.sourceforge.net/sbcl/                                 
ftp://sbcl.sourceforge.net/pub/sbcl/                                  
                                                                      
on the home page so that people can get to the newest release         
regardless of sourceforge silliness?  I knew about the alternate      
download sites, but I didn't think anything out of the ordinary would 
be there, since nothing was listed on the Releases pages.  Silly me   
for not checking.
