[slime-devel] M-x slime-update-indentation kills Allegro CL (with patch)

[Matthias Koeppe]

Does anyone else have the same problem with Allegro CL 8.0 and SLIME?
If I type M-x slime-update-indentation, Allegro CL starts growing
until it hits a STORAGE-CONDITION or even segfaults.

However, typing (update-indentation-information) in the REPL just
works.  I have come up with the patch below which fixes the problem
for me, but I don't understand why.

Unless there are no objections, I will put this fix into CVS anyway.
