are you sure both branches fail?  did you check *Messages*?

are you sure your code behaves as if it were:

  (cond (nil t) (nil t))

?  eval that in *scratch* -- what do you see?  how about:

  (cond (nil t) (nil t) (t))
  (cond (nil t) (nil t) (nil))
  (cond (nil t) (nil t) (42))
  (cond (nil t) (nil t) (t 42))
  (cond (nil t) (nil t) (t nil))
  (cond (nil t) (nil t) (42 t))
  (cond (nil t) (nil t) (42 nil))
  (cond (nil t) (nil t) (42 42))
  (cond (nil t) (nil t) (42 42 42))

why stop with one error?  life's too short to be perfect...
