[Bese-devel] UCW with SBCL on Linux (possibly threading issue)

Good day,

I also had problems with threaded applications on Gentoo with
kernel-2.6 and native threads. Threaded SBCL and Erlang dumped to core
in unpredictable places.

At first I'm recommending to switch the system with 2.6 kernel from
native kernel threads to POSIX -

The second - you need Slime version reflecting latest changes in SBCL
threads.

If you don't want to conquer SBCL and don't need Unicode you can
use UCW with CMUCL and its green threads. Latest CMUCL-19b works well with
Slime and UCW. At least for me.
