SLIME has been working perfectly for me for some time. But the other day, I encountered some odd behavior. I hit M-. for slime-edit-definition. The function was a simple one, in another file in the project. But the busy mouse pointer appeared, my notebook cooling fan came on, and SLIME ran until memory was exhausted about 2 minutes later. SBCL totally crashed, and dropped into it's own debugger.
Are you saying that Emacs crashed too, or just SBCL?
[...] Once the operation begins to consume CPU and memory, I can disconnect within emacs to stop it from totally crashing, then I have to start over.
Can you evaluate (swank:find-definitions-for-emacs "<fun-name>") in the terminal and maybe interrupt it before it crashes and send a stacktrace?
I'll be happy to provide any other details.
The last form in the *slime-events* buffer could be interesting.
