[slime-devel] Signal-driven IO in SBCL on non-Linux/x86

Hello,

Have any of the SLIME developers tested the new signal-driven IO at all on non-linux/x86? It seems to be quite thoroughly-broken for me on both Darwin and Solaris: connecting will sometimes hang emacs, once connected messages sometimes need an extra newline to go through, and sending any input at all to the actual SBCL repl once connected causes a major SBCL hang.

Is this expected? Will it improve? I never had any problems with the old fd-handler approach.

Also, FWIW, it seems someone has changed slime.el such that slime-connect now attempts to connect to localhost no matter what host you supply.
