     I've been testing a knowledge representation package, and found that when
     I eval (with *fast-eval* t) a selection, a macro does not expand properly,
     but when I eval (with *fast-eval* nil) it does work.  It also works
     when I step the function, or when I eval and run the individual forms.  The
     effect is that of an improperly expanded macro, but only in certain cases.
     And it expands fine when I step through the code, making this one 
     hard to debug.
     
     As far as I can tell, it appears to be a problem compiling a heavily
     nested macroexpansion.  If anyone's interested, I can probably give
     you a copy of the code.


I guess I'd be interested.  Can you tell whether or not the macro
expands into any EVAL-WHEN forms ?
