[slime-devel] eldoc errors

[Faré]

Using SLIME head in XEmacs 21.4, getting spammed with XEmacs's
*warnings* buffer popping up incessantly:
(28) (error/warning) Error in `post-command-hook' (setting hook to
nil): (wrong-type-argument natnump t)

When I try to debug it with (setq debug-on-error t) I get backtraces like this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument natnump t)
  signal(wrong-type-argument (natnump t))
  set-itimer-restart(("run-with-idle-timer" 0.2 0.2
eldoc-print-current-symbol-info t t nil (18956 8772 7$
  timer-set-idle-time(("run-with-idle-timer" 0.2 0.2
eldoc-print-current-symbol-info t t nil (18956 8772 $
  eldoc-schedule-timer()

Something bad is happening in eldoc, itself called by slime-autodoc. Sigh.

My current workaround:
(setq slime-use-autodoc-mode nil)
