EVAL-THE-ARGS-BEFORE-THE-FUNCTION STRIKES AGAIN



Well, folks, I got it again, the infamous screw where the argument is
evaluated before the function.  Sometimes doing an FEVAL on the function
can side-effect on the arguments, like when you have an AUTOLOAD property
on the function, and the file sets up one of the arguments to the function
being called.  Fortunately, NIL will do this right.  I just spent a half-hour
scratching my head why this bug only happened the first time, but not when I'd
re-try it, or trace the function in question, etc.....
