Bug in fillarray of Franz Lisp? (In English)

There seems to be something wrong with our Franz Lisp (on VAX-11/750 under
4.2BSD).  Fillarray of negligent of its task.  A sample session follows:

% lisp
Franz Lisp, Opus 38.79
-> (array ill t 3 3)
array[9]
-> (fillarray 'ill '(0))
nil
-> (ill 1 1)
0
-> (ill 2 2)
0
-> (ill 2 3)
nil
-> (ill 3 3)
nil
-> ^D
Goodbye
%

That is, elements (ill 1 1) thru (ill 2 2) are zeroed, but (ill 2 3) thru
(ill 3 3) are not.  When I tried with (array ill t 5 5), (ill 1 1) thru
(ill 4 4) were zeroed but (ill 4 5) thru (ill 5 5) are not.
   Possibly parameters to fillarray may be wrong, since the manual says
(fillarray 's_array 'l-itms) returns s_array.  But how can 'ill evaluate
to nil in the above example?
   
   Is your fillarray ok?   

   If you know how to fix or avoid this, please help.
   Thanks in advance.
