This is the right place.
I am experiencing odd behavior using SLIME with CMUCL. It seems that a call to ext:set-floating-point-modes is failing to set the modes correctly. From within SLIME, I have the following interaction:
I don't understand this stuff, but it does appear to be caused by our using SIGIO. If you use a SERVE-EVENT handler for SLIME instead of SIGIO then it works as expected. To do that, put this in your ~/.swank.lisp:
(setq swank:*communication-style* :fd-handler)
There're some more details/cautions about our request handling styles in the Lisp-side configuration part of the manual, which currently lives at http://www.bluetail.com/~luke/misc/lisp/slime.ps.gz
