I can reproduce this but I've no idea what is causing it. It /looks/
like someone is trying to call defslimefun as a function rather than a
macro, but I don't see where it could happen -- the macro is declared
at the top of the only file that refers to it.

I did fix a different but similar problem that I got under CLISP. It
seems like I had to swap the order of a couple of macros, one of which
expanded into into code that calls the other, but that surely can't be
the reason.

Mine actually gives an empty backtrace (!). I fixed the Elisp-side to
handle that incase it helps someone more CLISP-savvy find the problem.
