Latest slime (from CVS) works ok with latest ECL (from git),
:You are rigth that utf-8 coding system doesn't work.

Hello,
I was unsure to which of the lists this belonged best so I posted it to both slime-devel and ecls-list (if I understand, swank which is part of slime handles the implementation-specifics)...
Is slime known to be broken with ECL?
I initially tried with ECL 8.12.0 and first had an unknown utf8-unix external format error (so I adapted my ~/.emacs to temporarily not use utf-8 mode, which helped).
Then there was another error related to missing ext:+ecl-version-number+ constant (which I could declare in ~/.eclrc, which also helped).
However, there then was another error: "Wrong number of arguments passed to function #<compiled-function SI:IHS-TOP>".
I then tried using ECL 9.6.0 (or .1? the ecl-9.6.0 archive had a directory named ecl-9.6.1), built with unicode support. The utf8 related error still occurs when utf8 mode is enabled, the +ecl-version-number+ constant is already defined this time, yet the ihs-top function being called with the wrong number of arguments still occurs.

My experience with slime and ecl is limited, I used to use it with SBCL only previously. The reason why my initial tries were with ECL 8.12 was because I got it working properly with threads, when the bootstrap ecl_min appears to segfault and its signal handler stuck in an endless loop when I try to build 9.6.0/1 with threading support (it builds fine non-threaded). But this is another matter which I didn't spend time to debug yet. :)
Thanks,
Matt
