I have tried using cvs head earlier, but there are other issues with it 
and the cvs head doesn't even starts up on my xemacs. I have posted this 
problem on the newsgroup earlier, look in the "xemacs & slime  - bug" 
thread. I don't know if it is fixed yet.
Anyway, more on the current bug.

I am using clisp system, and sometimes due to some error in the program, 
when the clisp goes into an infinite loop, slime terminates the 
connection and shows "evaluation aborted" error message.
And this is when the error in the orignial post occurs. The way out of 
it for me is to restart the slime connection. and luckily, when I 
restart the slime conncetion the memory image which was present before 
the command which caused connection disruption occurred is reloaded, 
i.e., I don't need to redefine everything.

Another problem which I am facing is that I am not able to abort 
evaluation on clisp from slime, I don't know whether it is a bug in 
clisp or slime.
