[slime-devel] multiprocessing, dll loading, slime, allegro 6.2 and windows

I'm not sure this is the ideal forum for this slime-related bug, but I've discovered an odd interaction between slime, allegro 6.2, multiprocessing and foreign dll loading.

Namely, I can load some dll's using (load "foo.dll") from within emacs/slime but others, say (load "test.dll"), fail from within emacs/slime but work fine in the same image when run from the console instead. Once the console loads the dll's, I can use them fine from within the slime buffer (def-foreign or uffi, etc).

This may be a pure allegro/multiprocessing problem; but I wanted to see if anyone here has encountered similar problems or has a suggestion for diagnosing.
