[slime-devel] Problems with slime using sbcl on winXP (emacsW32)

[Matthew D. Swank]

Starting in late September, whenever I try to exit out of the debugger
the repl prompt doesn't come back.

Example:

*slime-repl sbcl*
CL-USER> o

*sldb sbcl/0*
The variable O is unbound.
   [Condition of type UNBOUND-VARIABLE]

Restarts:
 0: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request.
 1: [ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level.         <-----------pick this
one 2: [CLOSE-CONNECTION] Close SLIME connection
 3: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

The repl buffer comes back with no prompt, and all further requests are
pipelined.

This does not happen in clisp.

Some other info:

These are the current contribs I'm using:
