Hmm, I'm a bit too late here, sorry, but the problem is that you're
loading the library _before_ you set the value of
COMMON-LISP-HYPERSPEC-SYMBOL-TABLE. It should be the other way around
because COMMON-LISP-HYPERSPEC-SYMBOLS is filled only once, namely at
load time. If COMMON-LISP-HYPERSPEC-SYMBOL-TABLE is NIL at this time
(the default value), you get the hard-wired symbol table from CLHS v4
- that's why you got mac_defun.html instead of m_defun.htm.

FYI, there's also another version by Sam Steingold at
<http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=m3sn5nis2c.fsf%40gnu.org>.

Best regards,
Edi.
