[slime-devel] 100% cpu usage with CCL "Version 1.8-dev-r15230M-trunk (LinuxX8664)"

[Max Mikhanosha]

When I start CCL with latest Slime, the lx86cl64 process uses 100% CPU
time, even when Slime is otherwise idle. REPL works as expected,
except for high CPU load.

I can drop CPU load back to 0%, if I change timeout from 1 to 100 like this

       (lock (ccl:make-lock "register-thread")))


My CCL had not been updated for a while, so it could be bug in CCL,
I'll try latest SVN build of CCL next
