[slime-devel] *BUFFER-OFFSET* problem on SBCL

[Christian Lynbech]

The newly introduced *BUFFER-OFFSET* is not defined on SBCL.

The problem is that swank-sbcl contains this:

        (defvar *buffer-offset*)

but it must look like this

        (defvar *buffer-offset* nil)

to actually introduce a variable.

It is a little unclear to me exactly when the problem manifests
itself. I have sofar only seen it in combination with compilation of
systems in which a file had a superflous parenthesis.
