BTW, I'm not trying to nitpick. For me at least it is rather important that the shortcut works immediately because usually the first thing that I do in a new Lisp session is to load a package or to change the working directory, so it'd be cool if this could be fixed before I've made a habit out of sending a junk form like (+) to appease SLIME... :)
Let me know if/how I can help to debug this.
Thanks, Edi.
