This \x00FF\x00F4\x00FF\x00FD\x00FF string is unexpected to me.  Did that
happen when you tried to connect from emacs?  Restarting emacs is probably a
good idea to rule out any issue with its state.

This is working as expected -- the slynk/swank server is not a REPL so you
can't just send *features* to it.
