Re: [slime-devel] Float representation problem

I just stumbled upon a problem with fuzzy completion. This was investigated using a freshly updated slime from CVS and SBCL 1.0.28 on an intel mac.

If one adds

(setq *read-default-float-format* 'double-float)

to .sbclrc, deletes ~/.slime and then restart the slime session, completion stops working. One gets an error such as this (in emacs):

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Format specifier doesn't match argument type")
  format(" %s %-8.2f" "-f--t---" "42.67858333333333d0")
  (insert (format " %s %-8.2f" classification-string score))

I fixed the issue with fuzzy completion, but the fact that *read-default-float-format* woud be different in other threads, including repl, remains.
