Hello all,
I'm a newb to lisp (using sbcl), slime and emacs, so maybe this is a FAQ or some other trivia I just can't find ... anyway, doing this:
(string #\UGARITIC_LETTER_ALPA)
causes slime to die and complain on emacs bottom-line about: error in process filter: net-read error: (end-of-file)
If I start sbcl from the command-line it works. Most other interesting characters work, like, say #\ARABIC_LETTER_HAMZA or #\HEBREW_LETTER_ALEF, but for whatever reason ugaritic and some others don't. I don't have a comprehensive list, but besides ugaritic, at least #\LANGUAGE_TAG kills slime.
What can be done about it? Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be (un)done?
(setq slime-net-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
This is from the docs. I also found
http://nolan.eakins.net/node/150
useful.
