I identified the problem and fixed it. Slime is building pathnames with
components of type (array character (*)) while the operating system (or at
least the ECL routines) only accept (array base-char (*)). I have added a
filter that coerces all strings in pathnames to the second type if possible.
If it is not possible, then those filenames are using characters beyond the
256 lowest Unicode codepoints, which is not accepted by ECL.
