That's actually the key. The new sbcl uses the
long char name, which consists only of safe
letters.

When I made it return a string containing the
A-with-macro, the connection died again.

Setting slime-net-coding-system yields
the correct result, then.

I guess the packaged slimes look after what
the host system uses for encoding and adapts,
only I use cvs HEAD.

Error message would be nicer, though.

Thanks for figuring to everybody!
