I find the coagulating of spaces that FILL-STREAM
performs really confusing:
[4]> (describe "foo bar")[4 spaces]
"foo bar"[1space] is a simple 1 dimensional array
(vector) of CHARACTERs, of size 10
(a ISO-8859-1 string).
When I first saw this, I wondered how CLISP managed to
display two different strings. Was the heap
corrupted? How could that happen?

thank you for your bug report.
the bug has been fixed in the CVS tree.
you can either wait for the next release (recommended)
or check out the current CVS tree (see http://clisp.cons.org\)
and build CLISP from the sources (be advised that between
releases the CVS tree is very unstable and may not even build
on your platform).
