It's not really broken.  M-. now works, but even before, I didn't use
M-. that often.  And I don't add #+ very often, and when it does, it
doesn't always infloop.  Never figured out what the made some
different from others.

(Which reminds me: I need to figure out a way to have M-. get the
right sources when running a snapshot and when running inside my
current git tree.  This is not a slime issue, I think, but a how I have
my cmucl source paths set up.)

Thanks for the generous offer!  But it would probably be good for me
to do that myself; I'm sure there are numerous (annoying) differences,
so it would be best for me find and learn these differences.  Besides,
I think most of my .xemacs directory is no longer really relevant to
even me. :-)
