Thanks for such a quick response.

I use an eval-after-load form:

 (eval-after-load "slime"
   '(progn
      (global-set-key "\C-cs" 'slime-selector)
      (setq slime-net-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
      ))

Unfortunately, setting slime-net-coding-system makes no difference:

 CL-USER> "ğ"
 "ğ"
 ;; hung
