For a few weeks now, the (lisp-implementation-version) of debian's clisp has stopped showing the version in its first component, which makes the autodetection routine of SLIME (or CL-Launch) not very helpful in case clisp ever changes its bytecode API. Can you put something useful in there, just like there used to be, or provide some other access to similar information?
