[slime-devel] (string #\U65B0)

Hi all,

I'm working with data that contains foreign characters using SLIME and
get the errors below when these become visible in the REPL.

> error in process filter: byte-code: net-read error: (end-of-file)
> error in process filter: net-read error: (end-of-file)

This can be provoked by evaluating e.g.: (string #\U65B0)

I tried the remedies discussed previously for similar problems, without
solving the problem. Interestingly something like "(string (code-char
#x2222))" will actually work without complaining.

For reference, I am using SLIME CVS, Emacs 21.4.1 and SBCL 1.0.5.34 and
I ensured the following settings:

swank::*coding-system* --> "utf-8-unix"
(setf slime-lisp-implementations '((sbcl ("sbcl") :coding-system
utf-8-unix)))

This topic has come up a few times, this thread seems to be most
similar: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/5895/focus=5901
Unfortunately it doesn't conclude with a solution. Has there been
progress in the meantime?

Thanks,

Chris
