[slime-devel] C-M-x kills emacs

[Jeffrey Cunningham]

Hi;

I just setup SLIME by following the slime.pdf document. I was trying
out the various key chords and find that C-M-x, which is supposed to
evaluate the top-level form. Instead, it kills emacs - instantly. Any
idea why? And what I can do to fix it? 

To rule out .emacs misconfiguration, I tried a temporary one
consisting of only the four SLIME configuration lines:

(setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/slime")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)

This made no difference. 

I'm running emacs 21.3.1 on a Gentoo Linux system (2.6.9 kernel,
xorg-x11 6.8.0-r3), and trying to use cmucl 18e-r4 (that's what it
says). Here's the *Messages* after it loads:
