I have just updated my CVS copy of SLIME. It works fine with CMUCL Snapshot 2005-09 (19B) and GNU Emacs 21.3.2 under Slackware Linux 10.0, including loading the present.lisp file. But when I try to compile present.lisp from within a SLIME session, I get this error in the Emacs echo area:
error in process filter: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, :present
Compilation of that fine worked fine in earlier versions of SLIME.
