Any ilisp rpm files? (w/backtrace) He shoots. He scores! [possible bugfix]

I was looking at the definition of deflocal:

(defmacro deflocal (variable default &optional documentation)
  "Define an ilisp local variable."
  (` (progn (lisp-deflocal '(, variable))
	    (defvar (, variable) (, default) (, documentation)))))

I was wondering if revising this to something like

(defmacro deflocal (variable default &optional documentation)
  "Define an ilisp local variable."
  (let ((documentation
           (cond ((stringp documentation) documentation)
                 ;; on at least some xemacsen passing nil
                 ;; as the documentation to defvar seems bad
                 ((null documentation) "")
                 (t (error "Should pass nil or a string as documentation argument.")))))
  (` (progn (lisp-deflocal '(, variable))
	    (defvar (, variable) (, default) (, documentation))))))

might fix the problem....
