Confirmed with a user on #lisp. Both alisp and acl-express.

In *slime-scratch*, try evaluating (+ 1 'foo) with C-x C-e. The swank-debugger fails to come up.

Should be fixed in HEAD. I think we stumbled on a bug in Allegro's debugger:frame-retryable-p, which apparently doesn't handle some (reasonable) arguments.

It works fine in SBCL and Clojure.

Does Clojure have a debugger?

Also, does anyone know what happened to the little "eval..." message in the emacs status bar when the lisp is working? That was extremely useful to me.

Well, Tobias Rittweiler changed that on 2008-08-07. I think the new code displays "{busy}" sometimes (but I don't know when exactly).

Helmut.
