It seems in is not --enable-precisegc, but --enable-gengc that is
causing problems (I had both enabled). After disabling only precisegc
I had the same problems reported with slime as before. After also
disabling gengc, the problems went away and slime works ok again.

I just tried enabling precisegc and disabling gengc, and slime works
ok for me so far, so it is gengc causing problems, not precisegc, at
least in my case (multithreaded, unicode enabled 64bit linux build)

As a tangential question, is there a way to tell if profile is
available or not before requiring it?
