   . . .

   Here is a trivial test file that appears to cause this problem in 
   both Allegro 6.0 and CMU Common Lisp CVS snapshot 2003-12.

   In both cases I started Emacs 21.1.95.1 with -q so that my emacs init
   file was ignored, just in case something it loads might be causing
   then problems.

Thank you for isolating a test case; I was able to reproduce the problem
using "emacs -q" with ACL 6.1 (though, as it turns out, I expect any
Lisp would have done as well).

   Then in emacs I did:

   (progn 
     (push "/opt/share/emacs/site-lisp/packages/ilisp" load-path)
     (require 'ilisp)
     (setq lisp-edit-file nil)
     (setq lisp-find-definition-verbose-p  t)
     (setq allegro-program "allegro")
   )

You needed to do "(setq lisp-edit-files nil)" [note plural] instead.
But no matter; I have committed the obvious (and overdue) fix, so this
setting should cause problems for M-. users no longer.

   In the process, though, I found it sometimes finds the bar method,
and sometimes it thinks it can't, depending perhaps on the cursor
position, and maybe the cache state (though I did try to rule that out).
Something else for me to track down . . .

   Thanks for hanging in there,
