[slime-devel] connection to lisp is dropped

[Leo Butler]

Hi,
I am having a problem with slime losing connection to lisp.
I've tried the solution from
http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/slime-devel
but to no avail.

I am getting this cryptic message in the *inferior-lisp* buffer,
usually within a few seconds of starting slime:

;; Swank started at port: 43929.
43929
* ;; swank:close-connection: Reader error at 52 on #<String-Input
* Stream>:
too many dots

I am using Emacs 22.2.1 in Debian Lenny and Slime 3.0-alpha
with CMUCL and CLISP.
