Right.  I've committed this now; the reason it matters is that I
believe it was this that caused the failure of sb-simple-streams on
both FreeBSD (since sbcl-0.8.0 or thereabouts, as reported by Henrik
Motakef and Dag-Erling Smorgrav) and Darwin (more recently, as
reported by Patrik Nordebo and kludged around with a #-darwin :-).
There were some other 64-bit related problems with the FreeBSD port
that I think are now under control; if there's anyone out there
working with sbcl on FreeBSD, success or failure reports in the next
20 days (i.e. preferably before the next freeze :-) would be much
appreciated.

Cheers,

Christophe
