Hi,

I am using the latest slime (from cvs), sbcl 1.1.4 (but the same thing happens with 1.1.3), GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2) of 2013-01-20 on trouble, modified by Debian.

When I call slime-rgrep-system, I get an error message that looks like this:

Invalid read syntax: "#" in packet: (:return (:ok #<asdf:system "array-operations">) 367)

Then I am offered the choice of skipping the packet or entering the debugger. The latter gives:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax "#") (progn (debug (quote error) error)) (if (y-or-n-p "Enter debugger instead? ") (progn (debug (quote error) error))) (when (y-or-n-p "Enter debugger instead? ") (debug (quote error) error)) (cond ((y-or-n-p "Skip this packet?

Please let me know if I can provide any other useful information.
