Hi again,

so let's disentangle some confusion (partially created by me, sorry for that):

I have good news (for android) and bad news (for current Slime v2.20):

* First the good one:

I found out that old Slime v2.19 is stable on android (even though it
needs a tiny patch, as mentioned in an earlier mail).
(So, what I'm currently doing in EQL5-Android is to include a patched
Slime v2.19, just to be safe)

* Now the bad news, _not_ related to android (and I can't be the only
one experimenting this...):

With current Slime v2.20, the Slime REPL will freeze occasionally,
especially if the response from Swank takes some time to compute, e.g.
with TAB completion. What causes the "freezing" is a segfault in ECL:

I ran ECL through gdb, and the segfault seems related to GC (see
attachment for the full backtrace). I was provoking the freezing with
TAB completion (and it took me a few minutes to have it occur).

If my subjective observations match reality, then this is caused when
a GC is triggered during a Slime REPL command, waiting for a response
from Swank (since these pauses are mostly very short, that coincidence
doesn't happen very often).

This problem definitely doesn't happen in Slime version v2.19, and
it's not related to the new :SPAWN mode, because it happens even with
:style NIL (the fallback communication style).
