[slime-devel] Re: Slime/CMU hangs on GC

My emacs in slime mode hangs quite oft imidiatly after announcing a GC run, usually from a Slime mode buffer, not from REPL. I use CMUCL and Slime from CVS. Is this a known behaviour?

At least I have to see 'me too' for this, if by 'emacs hangs' you mean the slime->lisp connection gets stuck in "eval state" (as announced in the modeline). Emacs itself is not unresponsive, but everything involving slime obviously hang. I tried to locate the cause and could improve things a bit by removing the pre-gc-hook and post-gc-hook in swank-cmucl.lisp. Now it takes longer till hang occurs.

Any debugging leads greatly appreciated.
