Thank you.  I've merged this, with a few extra hacks, into
sbcl-0.8.18.21.  You might want to review the diff between your
octets3.lisp and what I eventually committed for possible problems.

Yeah.  I'm not convinced this is right, for what it's worth, though I
left it in.  If it is, then I think that callers (such as
SB-MD5:MD5SUM-STRING) should probably have such an argument too.

In any case, with this (and the adjustments I made to the sb-md5
contrib) we now have restored the lost functionality from before the
Unicode merge.  Now all we have to do is have less OAOOM in the
code...

In any case, thank you again.

Cheers,

Christophe
