[Sbcl-devel] NAME-CHAR and unrecognised symbols

[John Q <spl...@ya...>]

I think there is something like a (setf name (string
name)) missing somewhere in the second, unicode,
branch of the NAME-CHAR function in target-char.lisp:

This is SBCL 0.9.12, an implementation of ANSI Common
Lisp.

* (name-char 'newlin)

debugger invoked on a TYPE-ERROR: The value NEWLIN is
not of type SEQUENCE.

Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit
from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by
possibly-abbreviated name):
  0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

(LENGTH NEWLIN)
0] 

My apologies that this is not a patch.
