It might. I thought the two (person-editor and address-editor) cases should
look the same. Please check before you commit, it is possible that I got
entangled in various source code versions.

Well, it works OK for me, for now. I have already asked on the sbcl and slime
lists, and the reply (by Christophe Rhodes) was that with the default :spawn
mode, GC is not run soon enough after a thread is spawned to execute an
arbitrary slime command, resulting in the system being asked for more memory
(even though it is never used). I do not know when someone is going to address
the issue, and I am neither a slime nor a sbcl expert. But I have experienced
bumping into the 4GB wall after a few hours hacking through slime. I have
thusly added :fd-handler in my .slime.lisp, too.
