Greetings,
With SLIME CVS HEAD as of 2004-03-28T23:15Z, Emacs 21.3 and sbcl 0.8.9.6, I noticed that an attempt to slime-load-system portable hemlock results to

It seems that SLIME has read the docstring as several forms even though it really is just one form. You can reproduce the problem by putting the following code to a file and then invoking slime-compile-and-load-file on it.

If X is supplied and is a symbol, the definition of X is put into a buffer, and that buffer is selected. If X is a pathname, the file specified by X is visited in a new buffer. If X is not supplied or Nil, the editor is entered in the same state as when last exited. When :init is supplied as t (the default), the file "hemlock-init.lisp", or ".hemlock-init.lisp" is loaded from the home directory, but the Lisp command line switch -hinit can be used to specify a different name.
