*print-circle* doesn't detect circular defstructs

(setq *print-circle* t)

(defstruct foo x y)

(setf z (make-foo))

;;; Don't do this!!!!!

(setf (foo-y z) z)

----------------------------

The Hyperspec doesn't say that setting *print-circle* to non-nil
will definitely detect such circularity, so this isn't a bug.  But it
would be very nice if Corman Lisp did do so.
