[slime-devel] slime-autodoc stopping because of invalid characters.

Hi all, Occasionally I manage to input a strange character into the slime-repl and try and send it to the lisp. Fortunately, there is a condition in SLIME-NET-SEND in slime.el which detects for strange characters and refuses to send them. However, after signalling the "Coding system ..." error in that function, the slime-autodoc/eldoc support for the REPL stops working. The attached patch fixes that issue. Is it correct to send CONTINUATION the value (LIST :ABORT)? I have seen uses of SLIME-REX which look for it. Thanks Mark P.S. I'm a newbie to emacs lisp and the inner workings of slime.
