[slime-devel] Unicode character misbehavior?

I discovered a way to crash Slime by compiling a simple sexp containing a string. Here are the conditions: 1. Connect to a running SBCL via swank (M-x slime-connect). 2. Cut and paste the sexp below containing the smiley-face into a lisp file. 3. Compile the fragment. That's it. When I do this the inferior Lisp process is terminated "by remote peer". (let ((dangerous-string "This is a smiley-face: ☺")) (print "Important safety tip: don't do this.")) I normally only work with UTF-8 characters, and my ignorance of handling other character sets is probably the culprit here. What should I do if I want to enable slime to work with strings like this?
