Hello:
I'm processing a pretty big data set, but I was surprised to see SLIME fail with this message: Evaluation aborted on #<SWANK::SWANK-ERROR {1003C395A1}>.
... while the result of my computation continued to be printed on the *inferior-lisp* buffer, dispatch-event: (:WRITE-STRING "((0 0 0 0 0 0 [... 158M worth of 0's and 1's]
Here is the rest of what I found there, in case it helps with debugging.
The maximum message length is 2^24 bytes. Do you really want to send 158MB? Or would be be happy if SLIME detects the problem and enters the debugger instead of disconnecting?
(Are there any configuration options you would recommend when working with large-scale data?)
Setting printer variables like *print-length* to fairly small values is usually a good idea.
