I'm not sure if this happens in other Lisps, but in LispWorks I start to get duplicate definitions listed when I used SLIME-EDIT-DEFINITION to jump to a function. These are all the "same" function definition, just with a slightly different line numbers as I make changes to whatever .lisp file I'm editing and recompile the function.
(This sure is tricky to explain!)
I made a change to slime-edit-definition to remove the duplicates. Patch below.
If this only happens in LispWorks I can modify swank-lispworks.lisp instead.
Cheers, Chris Dean
