[asdf-install-devel] Problem Report + Patch: Extraneous 0x0A byte at beginning of downloaded file stream [clisp 2.44, netbsd -current amd64]

[Taylor Venable]

Hi Gary,

I just wanted to follow up with you on this issue, because I recently
noticed that the same error occurs using the latest asdf-install with
CLISP 2.42 on Ubuntu 8.04 i686, in addition to the CLISP 2.44 NetBSD
-current AMD64 configuration on which I initially discovered it.  The
same patch still works for the code at Darcs patch 161.

Or if this issue has already been addressed then I apologize: I had a
motherboard failure on my mail server a few weeks ago and lost about a
month's worth of emails so any response could have gotten lost there.
