[armedbear-devel] Problem with error reporting

[Blake McBride]

Here is another example:

Error loading /Users/blake/NetBeansProjects/Arahant/src/java/com/arahant/lisp/utils.lisp
at line 268 (offset 10995)
#<THREAD "main" {E4EB585}>: Unhandled condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR:
  The slot ~S is missing from the class ~S.


"~S" isn't very helpful.

Thanks.

Blake McBride
