Ouch, sorry about that!

I tested some of the new defstruct slot accessor code separately
before I put it into SBCL. I have my own CL-USER:/SHOW macro built
into my .sbclrc -- it's the model for SB-INT:/SHOW. I forgot to remove
it when I spliced the new defstruct stuff into the main sources, and
since it's in my .sbclrc, it passed the tests fine on my SBCL, even
though it wouldn't be able to build on anyone else's. Oops..

At the time I read your (Nathan's) message, there were two uncommented
CL-USER:/SHOW calls in my current checked-out copy (plus all the
commented-out ones in the take-it-out-for-a-test-walk). I've now
deleted them. I don't know when I'll check the changes in, though,
since I'm still stumbling around in cold init debugging of other
issues.
