Do the new M-. changes work with CLISP?

   I've modified the fsf key bindings and have been testing 
   ILISP functionality using those new bindings. During this
   testing, I tried out the new M-. changes that are in CVS.
   . . .

   I've read through the notes on the enhancement and CLISP 
   isn't one of the lisps that it says have been tested 
   with the enhancement.

Yes, and it appears that you have been bitten by a bug in the backward-
compatibility code for "unenhanced" Lisps, which I seem to have
neglected to keep working.  The right thing to do would be for me to
download CLISP, fix this bug, then keep going until the new M-. also
works with CLISP.  Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of a long and
painful upgrade job, and haven't even started to worry about bringing up
Lisps under the new system, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get to
this.  In the mean time, the following patch to current CVS ought to
allow M-. to limp along under CLISP.  I haven't committed it because I
have no way to test it; if you (or anyone else) find that it works,
please go ahead and do so.

   Sorry for the hassle,
