Here's a code snippet which uses the 'with-alien' function from the ALIEN
package:

( with-alien (
                ( filename c-string )
                ( width int )
                ( height int )
                ( image_array ( * ( * unsigned-char ))))

                ( setf filename ( car *command-line-words* ))
                ( extract-image filename
                                ( addr width )
                                ( addr height )
                                ( addr image_array ))

;********************************************
                ( dotimes ( w width ))
;********************************************

                ( setf ( array2d image_array 100 100 ) 0 )

                ( setf filename "del.jpg" )
                ( save-image filename width height image_array ))


 This code works fine.  But if I remove "( dotimes ( w width ))" I get the
following error when loading the fasl file:


-------------------------------

Type-error in KERNEL::OBJECT-NOT-TYPE-ERROR-HANDLER:
   #.(SYSTEM:INT-SAP #x48001020) is not of type ALIEN::ALIEN-VALUE

Restarts:
  0: [CONTINUE] Return NIL from load of #p"tel.x86f".
  1: [ABORT   ] Skip remaining initializations.

Debug  (type H for help)

-------------------------------

 Is there any easy explanation for this behavior ?
