William Conrad Halliburton:
Using cmucl 18e and a CVS from a couple of days ago. (mp::startup-idle-and-top-level-loops) from slime-repl hangs slime-repl but works when ran from inferior-lisp (slime-repl still works afterwards).
slime-repl on CMUCL 18e doesn't work with expressions consisting of more than ~450 characters. I followed a hint of Helmut on cmucl-imp, and set the last parameter of the call to system:read-n-bytes in lisp::read-into-simple-string to t. That seems to fix the problem with mp::startup-idle-and-top-level-loops called from cmucl-init.
