Broken on Mac with sbcl 1.4.1

When I use quickload to install iolib, I get the following error:

It looks like this is a result of a change in the readable representation of certain kinds of arrays:

* (let ((*print-readably* t) (arr  (make-array 10 :element-type 'base-char))) (print arr))

#A((10) BASE-CHAR . "")
""

That was fixed in version 0.8.3

Oops, that’s what I get for only trying the quicklisp version.

That surprises me because Quicklisp should be getting the latest Github release, which is 0.8.3.

I have a suspicion that the mac I was using had iolib in its local-projects directory
