[elephant-devel] new elephant and unicode troubles

[Ties Stuij]

with the cvs elephant on sbcl on linux with bdb, with all tests
passed, the following code:

(defclass crocodile ()
((belly :accessor belly-of :initform "järv"))
  (:metaclass persistent-metaclass))

(defparameter *ben* (make-instance 'crocodile))

(belly-of *ben*)

gives:

deserialize of object tagged with 188 failed

as an error, which comes from %deserialize, from deserialize in
serialize2.lisp. A string with 'safe' characters though is properly
recognized as utf-8. The 188 can also be 132 or another value. The 6.1
checkout renders the same result but i must say i did like the error
message 'deserialize fubar!' more. Ideas?

Greets,
