[Openmcl-devel] BUG: kernel debugger on incorrect args to QUOTE (armel)

[Gary Byers]

FWIW, this works on (most) real ARM hardware because of an implementation
artifact.  It's depending on behavior that's undefined,  so an emulator
(or some piece of ARM hardware that I haven't tested on) can raise an
exception or do what was intended or pretty much whatever it feels like
doing (e.g., the bug's in CCL, not qemu.)
