I believe that I am using the sldb-abort when I press the <a> key (at least that's what the SLIME manual PDF file states). When I try using the listed "abort" option by clicking on it then pressing the <ENTER> key, it locks up just the same though.
Yes, that's true. The problem is that the `abort' restart is established by CLISP's native REPL and is "below" the SLIME event loop. So if you invoke the restart, you jump out of the loop and SLIME stops responding to events.
The usual way to exit from SLDB is with `q' which to invokes the `abort-request' restart.
I added some cleanup code in the CVS version, so that the connection gets closed when the event loop terminates. Emacs will then display a message saying that the connection is closed.
Helmut.
That worked. Thank you.
You might want to note in the SLIME documentation that the <q> command is the preferred abort restart and that the <a> command will kill SLIME as well.
