As I wrote in original message the problem seem to be with passing
strings from Lisp to C functions.  AFAICS sockio.lisp.pamphlet
assumes that it will pass pointer to original string buffer. But
apparently gcl passes pointer to a copy.  Code to pass strings
(in lsp/gcl-2.6.8pre/o/cmpaux.c) changed slightly compared to
gcl-2.6.7, so maybe this is the reason.
