Hi all,

I'm working with data that contains foreign characters using SLIME and get the errors below when these become visible in the REPL.

error in process filter: byte-code: net-read error: (end-of-file) error in process filter: net-read error: (end-of-file)

This can be provoked by evaluating e.g.: (string #\U65B0)

I tried the remedies discussed previously for similar problems, without solving the problem. Interestingly something like "(string (code-char #x2222))" will actually work without complaining.

For reference, I am using SLIME CVS, Emacs 21.4.1 and SBCL 1.0.5.34 and I ensured the following settings:

swank::*coding-system* --> "utf-8-unix" (setf slime-lisp-implementations '((sbcl ("sbcl") :coding-system utf-8-unix)))

This topic has come up a few times, this thread seems to be most similar: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/5895/focus=5901 Unfortunately it doesn't conclude with a solution. Has there been progress in the meantime?

Thanks,

Chris
