I get several messages when I start slime after checking out the master 
branch.

Connecting to Swank on port 34085..
error in process filter: slime-for-each-presentation-in-region: Invalid 
function: (handle-presentation (presentation point) (multiple-value-bind 
(start end whole-p) (slime-presentation-bounds point presentation 
object) (funcall function presentation start end whole-p)))
error in process filter: Invalid function: (handle-presentation 
(presentation point) (multiple-value-bind (start end whole-p) 
(slime-presentation-bounds point presentation object) (funcall function 
presentation start end whole-p)))

That was not the case yesterday, but this morning I downloaded slime 
again thinking that the manual may have been updated and now I get the 
messages when I start slime. I also get similar messages when I use 
"repl>clear buffer" menu item.
