Thanks for your bug report. However, the wording of the message subject
is not correct. As you point out later it is a bug in the compiler,
which had several proclamations of the type

(proclaim-function string= (string string *) t :predicate
t :no-side-effects t)

Here the "string" type should actually be '(or symbol string character)
(what the spec calls a string-designator).

I have just fixed this in CVS.

Cheers,

Juanjo
