[slime-devel] LOAD-SYSTEM and stealing file locks

[Peter Seibel]

I've recently noticed that when I do a ,load-system and Emacs offers
to save modified files, it complains about the files being locked by
another process and asking if I want to steal the lock etc. However
the PID it gives is in fact my Emacs process. So I wonder if SLIME is
doing something funny under the covers--I can't imagine what but I
finally correlated this with usin ,load-system so I'm hoping someone
here might just know what's going on.
