[cl-curl-devel] c-string decoding error

[Hans Halvorson]

I am trying to use cl-curl with sbcl 1.0 (unicode), and I get a
c-string decoding error (please see the backtrace below).  

A web search revealed that this problem with sbcl has occurred in some
other contexts (e.g. with the stump window manager), but I did not
find any explanation of the underlying problem, or any resolution.

Thanks,
Hans
