[slime-devel] Allegro 6.2 problem

[Peter Seibel]

This may be related to the thing Edi mentioned the other day. Anyway,
I start SLIME using Allegro 6.2 on Linux. Initially I'm in the
directory where test-debug.lisp lives:

; SLIME: The Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs
CL-USER> 
CL-USER> (compile-file "test-debug.lisp")
;;; Compiling file test-debug.lisp
;;; Writing fasl file test-debug.fasl
;;; Fasl write complete
#p"test-debug.fasl"
NIL
NIL

So far so good. Now I ,change-directory up one directory and try
again. Which should fail since the file won't be found. But it doesn't
just fail; in the SLIME repl window I get the following:

CL-USER> 
CL-USER> (compile-file "test-debug.lisp")
Error: Received signal number 11 (Segmentation violation)
  [condition type: SYNCHRONOUS-OPERATING-SYSTEM-SIGNAL]

Restart actions (select using :continue):
 0: Prompt for a different filename to compile
 1: Abort handling SLIME request.
 2: Abort entirely from this process.
[Current process: repl-thread]
[1] CL-USER(1): 

Typing Allegro commands (e.g. :cont 1) doesn't seem to do anything.
C-c C-c gets me into sldb where I can use one of the ABORT restarts to
get back to the main REPL. But this seems wrong.
