I installed slime, and SBCL for windows, and it works fine, except for the REPL. Everything works great until I do something to cause an error, when I do, the debugger fires and gives me my options, and no matter which one I choose, nothing happens. The CL-USER> prompt doesn't come back, it just hangs up, and any thing I type results in it saying "; pipelined request... (swank:listener-eval "d". Is there any way to fix this? This really sucks. I'm sure it's something to do with SBCL because the windows port is experimental, just shooting at the chance of there being a fix for it.
This sounds like this problem: gmane.lisp.slime.devel/7991
Scroll down to the workaround.
Summary: it's a problem with SBCL/Windows/READ-CHAR-NO-HANG/socket-streams.
We could work around that in SLIME but it would clearly be better if the bug would be fixed in SBCL.
