[slime-devel] problem with C-m-x, eval-region and a host of other functions.

[Sundar Narasimhan]

Hi, All: I updated my copy of slime to the dev-head (perhaps this is an 
unwise thing to do :),
and notice that on fedora core 2 with cmucl, a lot of basic commands 
such as eval-defun,
eval-region etc. have stopped working.

In the inferior lisp window, when the connection is lost, I see 
printouts of the form:
;; Connection to Emacs lost.
;; [
Error in function LISP::ASSERT-ERROR:  Short read: length=798  pos=506]

My cursory examination of the relevant code has me confused.. since I can't
quite see (yet) how this could happen. Is there a way I can debug this 
or provide
you all more info? (perhaps tracing with-transcript or dispatch functions?)

Thanks,
-Sundar
