OK, thanks to LispWorks support there is a better solution now.  If
you're using LispWorks 4.4.5 on Windows or Linux (/not/ on OS X as the
problem doesn't happen there) you can send an email to

  lisp-support at lispworks.com

asking for the patch SYSTEM-CONS-FREE-CHAIN which you'll get for free.
Please make sure to use the "Report Bug" command from the LW IDE to
include a full bug report form.

The new 0.8.3 release is just intended to alert users who don't read
this mailing list of this problem.

ChangeLog:

  Version 0.8.3
  2005-10-10
  Alert LW users that a patch for OCTETS-TO-STRINGS is available (thanks to LispWorks support)
