The difference between 'n-bits' and 'nb' is that we want 'nb'
but 'n-bits' is what sbcl thinks that we should use.  It
is safer to use value that sbcl wants to have.  So no
bug.

BTW: The code was changed to current form because simpler
version did not work.  I do not remember if I tested
'nb' but first formula that I tried did not work, so
I changed computation to exactly match what sbcl was
doing.

We can not use ALLOCATE-VECTOR-WITH-WIDETAG because it is not
present in earlier versions of sbcl.
