Yeah, this is broken for quite some time now.  It was originally
intended to have two commands: one for interrupting and one for
aborting (or quitting).  The intended difference was that the Quit
command throws back to the toplevel immediately and the interrupt
commands should pop up the debugger.  

Currently there's only slime-interrupt C-c C-b. 'b' is for 'break'.
C-c C-b should always work.  I consider it as one of the more
important features.  If doesn't work, please let us know.

The quit command can be emulated by first interrupting and then
quitting in the debugger.  I'm not sure whether we need a separate
quit command, as it is somewhat redundant.

Helmut.
