Tracing individual methods will not interfere with the behaviour
of compute-applicable-methods.

	(trace ((method methoda (classa))))

will trace the method you have included in the code you sent us.

Tracing of individual methods is documented on page 3-4 of the
ACL 4.3 User Guide.

Unfortunately, tracing of a generic-function encapasulates it in 
code which is an inappropriate argument to compute-applicable-methods.
