Re: [slime-devel] LOAD-SYSTEM and stealing file locks

I've recently noticed that when I do a ,load-system and Emacs offers to save modified files, it complains about the files being locked by another process and asking if I want to steal the lock etc. However the PID it gives is in fact my Emacs process. So I wonder if SLIME is doing something funny under the covers--I can't imagine what but I finally correlated this with usin ,load-system so I'm hoping someone here might just know what's going on.

Should be fixed now. It was one of those dynamic scoping bugs. We had a local variable "system-name", but that wasn't so good because system-name is used when for creating lock filenames.
