[slime-devel] SLIME/SBCL bug

[Raymond Wiker]

        A few things:

        1) How do I subscribe to slime-devel? I'm not sure that I have
anything to contribute, but I like knowing what's going on :-)

        2) swank-sbcl does 

                (require 'sb-bsd-sockets)
 and 
                (require 'sb-introspect)

        These are asdf packages, and require won't be able to find
them unless asdf itself is in the SBCL image; in other words, they
should be preceded by 

                (require 'asdf)

        3) I've been seeing these errors (or something similar) for a few
days now:

: You have encountered a bug in SLIME.
: 
: The communication state machine received an event that was illegal for
: its current state, which means that the communication between Emacs
: and Lisp has lost synchronization. The connection to Lisp has
: therefore been closed.
: 
: You can open a fresh connection with `M-x slime'.
: 
: Please report this problem to your friendly neighbourhood SLIME
: hacker, or the mailing list at slime-devel at common-lisp.net. Please
: include in your report:
: 
:   A description of what you were doing when the problem occured,
:   the version of SLIME, Emacs, and Lisp that you are using,
:   the Lisp backtrace, if one was printed,
:   and the information printed below:
: 
: The event was:
: (:new-features
