Hi Sam,

thank you for the link; the documentation suggests that CLISP
determines that stdin is not a terminal-io stream and allows to setf
stream-element-type. The problem is that it does not. This, of course,
just means that I need to handle all of the input as binary by dup'ing
the handle through ext:make-stream in CGI scripts (instead of switching
between modes),

or just recreate behavior of all other implementations through Gray
streams; which I will do, just to bring it back to portability among
implementations. It is

though that I cannot just use CLISP to read
CGI input as raw 8-bit encoding and have to resort to recreation of the
behavior through complex hooks impeding performance.
