[Ecls-list] DFFI issues

[Luis Oliveira]

Hello,

I was trying to update cffi-ecl.lisp and came across this apparent bug:

$ ecl -norc
ECL (Embeddable Common-Lisp) 0.9j

#<foreign :POINTER-VOID 00002b82f51bc8e0>
> (si:call-cfun * :int '(:int) '(-42))
Segmentation violation.

I'm running Ubuntu 7.10, in case that helps.

  $ uname -srm
  Linux 2.6.22-14-generic x86_64

I see the same behaviour with either the 0.9j-p1 tarball or latest CVS,
both with unicode enabled.
