Same here.  It doesn't happen when stumpwm first starts, everything
works fine then.  I only get this problem when stumpwm has been running
for a little while.  My entire error message is:

Error In Command 'NewTerm': c-string decoding error (:external-format
                                       :UTF-8):
                                         the octet sequence 3 cannot be decoded.


In my .stumpwmrc, I have:

(defcommand NewTerm () ()
  (run-shell-command "xterm"))

and my sbcl version is:

[~]> sbcl --version
SBCL 1.0.11.debian

How would I do this?  I'm running Ubuntu, and gdm starts stumpwm with my
.xsession.
