Re: [slime-devel] SLIME/SBCL bug

    A few things:

    1) How do I subscribe to slime-devel? I'm not sure that I have

anything to contribute, but I like knowing what's going on :-)

You can subscribe to the mailing list via the web interface at http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/slime-devel. Alternatively, you can read via NNTP at news://news.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel

    2) swank-sbcl does 

            (require 'sb-bsd-sockets)

and (require 'sb-introspect)

    These are asdf packages, and require won't be able to find

them unless asdf itself is in the SBCL image; in other words, they should be preceded by

            (require 'asdf)

Apparently in more recent SBCLs ASDF will auto-load. Here's what Christophe Rhodes said:

(Actually, that was in reply to an earlier mail from you, but it seems your address you fell off the CC-list.)

    3) I've been seeing these errors (or something similar) for a few

days now:

: You have encountered a bug in SLIME.

We had a similar report recently:

http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2003-November/000070.html

It seems you're running an older version of the Elisp code that the CL backend that it talks to. Possibly there's an old byte-compiled slime.elc being loaded instead of the latest code?
