[David Matthew Mattli]

Package: sbcl
Version: 1:1.0.18.0-1
Severity: important

Whenever uses sbcl uses a null pointer in a cffi call it gives the following 
error:

#.(SB-SYS:INT-SAP #X00000000) fell through ETYPECASE expression.
   Wanted one of (CHARACTER SYMBOL INTEGER). 

This problem was not present in sbcl-1.0.17 and is fixed in 1.0.19.14. 
Updating sbcl to the latest version will fix this bug. This bug was reported 
and a fix reported on the sbcl-devel list.
