OK, so what is the problem with CMUCL that means it can't use read-sequence here? I know it used to be broken (did partial reads) but I thought that was fixed ages ago. Can we not report this as a bug to the cmucl developers?
I think you can't read bytes and characters from the same stream. If that's a bug, then a proper fix is of course preferable. --helmut.
