niiice!

one nit: the sldb-show-source command (bound to "v" in sldb) sometimes
can cause errors (if it's uncommon, sorry.  I'm using the latest CMU
CL snapshot currently, which might have something to do with it,
perhaps).

like this one:
'Bogus debug function: #<Bogus-Debug-Function "call_into_lisp+#x8C [#x8054C3C] /user/cmm/usr/linux/bin/lisp">
   [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]'

I wonder whether it would be a good idea to put '(ignore-errors ...)'
in some appropriate place?

also, upon choosing the ABORT restart in the inner backtrace caused by
the above, the frame cursor lands on the innermost frame, instead of
the frame I was trying to look up source of.

but let me add, lest anybody gets the wrong impression: niiice!
