[slime-devel] sbcl, threads and connections

[Christophe Rhodes]

Hi,

At some point SBCL's threading model changed, and that seems to have
broken something in slime.  (Some people will say at this point that I
reap what I sow...).

Specifically, while running (swank:ed-in-emacs 'and) in the REPL gives
me an interface to choose which AND I would like to edit, running
(sb-thread:make-thread (lambda () (swank:ed-in-emacs 'and))) gives me
"NIL is not of type SWANK::CONNECTION".  So at a guess this comes from
the change in the initial value for special variables in new threads.

What should I be looking at?

Cheers,

Christophe
