ECL 11.1.1, Windows, MSVC compiler.
quicklisp/version.txt: 2012010700

Test case:

1. Install fresh quicklisp.
2. (ql:quickload :any-library) produces error:

In function COERCE, the value of variable is
#\H
which is not of expected type (INTEGER -128 127)
Available restarts:

1. (USE-VALUE) Supply a new value of type (INTEGER -128 127).
2. (ABORT) Give up on "babel"
3. (RESTART-TOPLEVEL) Go back to Top-Level REPL.

Broken at SI:BYTECODES. [Evaluation of: (QUICKLISP-CLIENT:QUICKLOAD :BABEL)] In:
#.

3. The library is not downloaded. The directory quicklisp\dists\quicklisp\
contains only distinfo.txt and enabled.txt.

4. Running another lisp and performing ql:quickload for that library
downloads and installs it.

5. Now ql:quickload in ECL for that library works. But for any other library
it again produces the #\H error.
