Hi Mark,

As noted earlier, while Jorge's patches mostly seemed to work, they cause failures in the ANSI tests which invoked CL:STABLE-SORT on a BIT-VECTOR or a STRING. After a bit of delving into the macrology to obtain a minimum understanding of what was going on, I was able to to kludge together [r13931][1] which now relaxes the type used for sequences as VECTOR rather than SIMPLE-VECTOR. Although I suspect that such a distinction is not really used at the present time by our compiler, it is a bit of a shame to lose information that could potentially be useful in the future, but I don't think I will make further useful progress on this issue at the present time so I have closed [ticket #196][2].
Those whose macro-fu is better than mine are invited to submit a less kludgey fix.
I missed those tests and I'm sorry for that! I will try and review the code and see if I can come up with a solution. I'm busy at the moment so it won't be immediately but I will look into this.
