[slime-devel] input not getting through

[Daniel Patru]

The following code:

(defun prompt ()
   (do ((line nil (and (listen) (read))))
      ((eq line 'q))
    (when line (print line))
    (print '>)
    (sleep 5)))

when run in directly in the clisp interpreter in a shell, will output
a > every 5 seconds, and print out any symbols entered until q is
entered.

when run under slime, only > is printed every 5 seconds, the input is
not printed out, instead a message in the minibuffer says:
; pipelined request... (swank:listener-eval "<input>")

Anyway to make this work? (I'm trying to do some processing in between
user input.)
I'm running clisp 2.34, slime 1.2.1, emacs 21.3.1 and windows xp.

Thanks,
Dan
