[slime-devel] ECL's (ext:system) not working

[Peter Münster]

Hi,

What could I do please to make (ext:system) work with slime?

No problem with CLISP's (ext:shell). No problem with ECL's (ext:system)
outside of slime. But when evaluating `(ext:system "ls")' in slime, I
get this error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
:INPUT argument to RUN-PROGRAM does not have a file handle:
#<a SWANK-BACKEND::SLIME-INPUT-STREAM>
   [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]

Restarts:
 0: [RETRY] Retry SLIME interactive evaluation request.
 1: [*PROCESS-INPUT] Continue reading input.
 2: [ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level.
 3: [CLOSE-CONNECTION] Close SLIME connection.
 4: [RESTART-TOPLEVEL] Go back to Top-Level REPL.

Using latest cvs slime and latest git ecl.

TIA for any help,
