SLIME starts and works fine, but why do I have this problem all of a sudden? Earlier I had never loaded the timer library.
I did install and update the packages on my machine, can that be the reason for it?
Maybe you installed a new version of the timer package with fewer autoloads. Or maybe the new package is splitted in two files so that cancel-timer is no longer loaded when creating a timer.
Of course, it could also be a bug in SLIME that was uncovered by the updated packages. But I wasn't able to reproduce your problem and only added an explicit (require 'timer) so that you don't have to load the timer package manually.
