Hi Nicolas,
Still no luck reproducing this. Does this simple query fail too? (query "select '’'")
All right, I finally figured out the problem. The string came from a file, which was loaded with: (defun file-read (filename) (with-open-file (stream filename) (let ((content (make-string (file-length stream)))) (read-sequence content stream) content))) This didn't correctly handle multibyte characters, and yielded a string containg null bytes at the end. This triggered the error. Using the following works perfectly: (defun file-read (filename) (with-open-file (stream filename :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)) (let ((content (make-array (file-length stream) :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)))) (read-sequence content stream) (babel:octets-to-string content)))) Sorry for the noise, and thank you for trying to help me.
