[slime-devel] Re: Output lost after disconnect reconnect

The attached patch aims to fix this by: * swank.lisp (maybe-call-with-io-redirection): don't CALL-WITH-REDIRECTED-IO if *GLOBALLY-REDIRECT-IO*. Fixes lost output after disconnect, reconnect.

The "problem" with this is that you'll then be able to globally set *STANDARD-OUTPUT* &c to other values in case of *GLOBALLY-REDIRECT-IO* from the REPL. You won't be able to do so when *GLOBALLY-REDIRECT-IO* is NIL, though. Thus for consistency, I'd suggest to modify CALL-WITH-REDIRECTED-IO to bind *STANDARD-OUTPUT* &c in any case (if *GLOBALLY-REDIRECT-IO* is T, they're just bound to themselves.) -T.
