[Openmcl-devel] Regression in pathname-device in 1.3

I just switched from 1.2 to the 1.3 RC, and it looks like
PATHNAME-DEVICE now errs when called with a file that was opened with
a namestring.  In 1.2, this would return NIL instead.

Below is a comparison of 1.2 and 1.3 behavior, as well as a trivial
patch to restore the 1.2 behavior.  However, perhaps the correct fix
is to parse the string in case it's a Windows namestring that contains
a valid device specifier.

Let me know if I should open a ticket on Trac.  And as always, thank
you for your great work on CCL!
