Hmmm. I pulled the latest from CVS and made the change to lisp.h and
make bootstrap fails with a SIGSEGV. Setting the 1 back to 0 in lisp.h
allows me to build (modulo errors while building the docs in lispref).

When I get a chance later I'll see if can track down what is happening
during the build but I don't have time now.
