Hello,

It seems lispworks is not populating the compiler::*error-database* is a way that is not compatible with slime's current interpretation.

According to map-error-database in swank-lispworks.lisp in my version and the current CVS version, the expected structure of the variable is a list of

(filename . ((dspec . condition) ... ))

In LW 5.1.1, this structure seems to populated differently. the condition is instead a cons with the condition as the car. ie it is now:

(filename . ((dspec . (condition . some-number) ... )))

This change seems to cause the following error when C-c C-c (slime- compile-defun ?) is performed on a function that would yield any kind of warning.

(#<CONDITIONS::SIMPLE-STYLE-WARNING 4050518B8B> . 1) fell through ETYPECASE expression. Wanted one of (ERROR STYLE-WARNING WARNING). [Condition of type CONDITIONS:CASE-FAILURE]

Restarts: 0: [ABORT] Abort SLIME compilation. 1: [ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level. 2: [ABORT] Quit process.
