[slime-devel] slime choking on large output

[E. Tyurin]

Hi everyone,

I have a simple situation where SLIME (under CMUCL) fails - when fed certain (large) input.

Need: cl-csv package.  Run cmucl from shell:

gene at daBox:~$ lisp
CMU Common Lisp CVS release-18e-branch + minimal debian patches,
running on daBox
With core: /usr/lib/cmucl/lisp.core
Dumped on: Wed, 2004-02-18 11:30:01-05:00 on daBox
For support see http://www.cons.org/cmucl/support.html Send bug
reports to the debian BTS.
or to pvaneynd at debian.org
type (help) for help, (quit) to exit, and (demo) to see the demos

As you can see, the function call is completed without any problem.

Now, try the same from SLIME:

; CMU Common Lisp  Port: (33203 . localhost)  Pid: 6518

; Evaluation aborted
CL-USER>

And this message shows up in the *inferior-lisp* buffer:

* ;; Connection to Emacs lost.
;; [

; [GC will next occur when at least 13,037,136 bytes are in use.]

Error in function COMMON-LISP::ASSERT-ERROR:  Short read: length=5910572  pos=28]

Any suggestions??
