[Ecls-list] DESCRIBE in SLIME traps to debugger

[Dave Roberts]

If I type a DESCRIBE form into the SLIME REPL, it traps to the debugger
with an error. The same form typed at the ECL REPL started from a shell
does what you would expect it to. This is with the latest ECL from CVS
and the latest SLIME from CVS. Not sure if the problem is with SLIME or
ECL.

For example:

CL-USER> (describe 'cl:cons)

#<a SLIME-OUTPUT-STREAM> is not of type (OR STREAM T NIL).
   [Condition of type TYPE-ERROR]

Restarts:
  0: [ABORT-REQUEST] Abort handling SLIME request.
