Yes; the same (logical) change was made to both the 1.2 hierarchy and
the trunk:






The trunk change <http://trac.clozure.com/openmcl/changeset/11301>
is very slightly different from the 1.2 change
<http://trac.clozure.com/openmcl/changeset/11302> (the difference
has to do with the fact that streams get initialized earlier in the
trunk.)

In both the trunk and 1.2, this change was pretty small and localized,
and it's easy to build a lisp image that incorporates that change.  We
generally don't distribute binaries with that sort of change (and try
to avoid making that kind of change in the 1.2 tree.)

It's more common for changes in the trunk to introduce bootstrapping
difficulties (at least in the sense that REBUILD-CCL isn't smart
enough to rebuild everything in the right order), and (with occasional
lapses) updated binaries (that have been bootstrapped in some ad hoc
way) will usually appear shortly after those changes.

Since we're a little timid about introducing bootstrapping issues
into 1.2, we've probably fixed some things in the trunk without
propagating the fix to 1.2.  (We've certainly -introduced- more bugs
in the trunk as well, and that's part of the tradeoff.)
