Yes, lot of failures in CMUCL 20c + asdf 2.32 tests are caused by an utf8 bug in CMUCL.
To rule out this bug and consider only ASDF influence two ways were possible:
1. test CMUCL 20c with default encoding
Strange here is that clim-listener and mcclim-tiff-bitmaps have error and then hang,
despite the load operation is run with*debugger-hook* bound to a handler which
never hangs. I was unable to reproduce the timeout.
We can state that no ASDF related problems are detected by these tests.
2. test CMUCL2013-03 snapshot where the bug is fixed.
Here we have 3 regressions, all caused by utf8. Either this is another
utf8 bug in CMUCL or the source files really contain broken encoding.
As for testing ACL, I run tests on Express edition (can run it only Windows).
