Yes. C-c C-c is a SLIME command that sends the expression over a
socket, whereas C-c C-e is an `inf-lisp' command that essentially
pastes it into the listener in *inferior-lisp*. (We have these
confusing inf-lisp bindings because they merge them directly into the
lisp-mode keymap.)

I assume the "broken pipe" must refer to the TCP socket. Can you get
any insight from strace'ing xemacs?

And just in case, can you send the exact form you're testing with? I
tried again with a huge defconstant on linux with XEmacs 21.5beta16
but that didn't reproduce it either.
