[slime-devel] problem with C-m-x, eval-region and a host of other functions.

Hi, All: I updated my copy of slime to the dev-head (perhaps this is an unwise thing to do :), and notice that on fedora core 2 with cmucl, a lot of basic commands such as eval-defun, eval-region etc. have stopped working.

In the inferior lisp window, when the connection is lost, I see printouts of the form: ;; Connection to Emacs lost. ;; [ Error in function LISP::ASSERT-ERROR: Short read: length=798 pos=506]

My cursory examination of the relevant code has me confused.. since I can't quite see (yet) how this could happen. Is there a way I can debug this or provide you all more info? (perhaps tracing with-transcript or dispatch functions?)

Thanks, -Sundar
