If I use (babel:octets-to-string foo) on a byte array with BOM markers, then my SBCL Lisp image dies.

I've tried this out and it works for me:

CL-USER> (babel:octets-to-string (babel-tests::ub8v 239 187 191 102 111 111)) "foo" CL-USER> (length *) 4

I'm guessing you're using SLIME and you haven't set your slime-net-coding-system to 'utf-8-unix or something similar. Have a look at the *inferior-lisp* when your Lisp crashes to see if that's the case.

HTH,
