I don't understand exactly what SI:FOREIGN-DATA-RECAST is for here, but
the OFFSET argument to %MEM-REF is a raw byte offset, not an element
count, so adding it to the base pointer instead of multiplying it by the
size seems like a reasonable thing to do here.

Luís, it looks like this was added in the patch "Updated ECL Support"
about a year ago---do you remember why?
