  Hi there,

I think there's a bug in CLOS in this release. Consider the following
file contents:

(defclass test-class (standard-class)
  ())

(defclass test ()
  ()
  (:metaclass test-class))


compile-file works fine with the previous versions of CCL (I was using
the 1.1 svn branch), but with the 1.2 svn release, I get this:


; loading system definition from /usr/local/share/common-lisp/systems/asdf-binary-locations.asd into #<Package "ASDF0">
; registering #<SYSTEM ASDF-BINARY-LOCATIONS #x300040E80EED> as ASDF-BINARY-LOCATIONS
; loading system definition from /Users/didier/share/common-lisp/systems/cl-rcfiles.asd into #<Package "ASDF0">
; registering #<SYSTEM :CL-RCFILES #x300040F4976D> as CL-RCFILES
Welcome to Clozure Common Lisp Version 1.2-r9226-RC1  (DarwinX8664)!

:POP
? (quit)


... which I believe is incorrect behavior


Thanks !
