Hi Slimers,

I'm running the latest stable SBCL:

$ sbcl --version 1.0.47

the most recent version of SLIME shipped by quicklisp:

$ ls -d ~/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/slime-*-cvs /root/quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/slime-20110320-cvs

and Emacs 23 shipped with Debian Squeeze:

(emacs-version) => "GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) of 2010-12-11 on raven, modified by Debian"

When I try to connect to a running SBCL lisp image containing a SWANK server (same version) I immediately end up in the debugger:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Can't locate module: SWANK-IO-PACKAGE::SWANK-PACKAGE-FU [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]

The lisp image uses a core built like this:

(mapc #'ql:quickload '("SWANK" ;;; more packages here ))

(swank-loader:dump-image "foo.core")
