Thanks for the query, and sorry for the delay. Here is a cut-and-paste of what passes for a test-case. Basically, I have an old symbolic link hanging about, which has ":0" at the end (the X11 display number?), and which further happens to be a symbolic link to yet another old file - they are presumably created by Linux' DCOP (although I am not familiar with the details)... SBCL returns a (long) list of pathnames that includes both the symlink (with the ":0" in the pathname) and the pointed-to file.
John, do you want to have a go at fixing Osicat to use uiop:parse-native-namestring? (Please send a pull request to <https://github.com/luismbo/osicat>.) Adding regression tests for this bug, would nice as well. Faré, is UIOP installable via quicklisp or is it distributed bundled with ASDF only? I'd like to use PARSE-NATIVE-NAMESTRING without depending on a specific version of ASDF. If it isn't, I suppose we have to either (a) depend on a specific version of ASDF (how is that done?), (b) figure out a way to have UIOP as an independent library, or (c) import parse-native-namestring into Osicat.
