Hi everyone,

I have a simple situation where SLIME (under CMUCL) fails - when fed certain (large) input.

Need: cl-csv package. Run cmucl from shell:

gene@daBox:~$ lisp CMU Common Lisp CVS release-18e-branch + minimal debian patches, running on daBox With core: /usr/lib/cmucl/lisp.core Dumped on: Wed, 2004-02-18 11:30:01-05:00 on daBox For support see http://www.cons.org/cmucl/support.html Send bug reports to the debian BTS. or to pvaneynd@debian.org type (help) for help, (quit) to exit, and (demo) to see the demos

As you can see, the function call is completed without any problem.

Now, try the same from SLIME:

; CMU Common Lisp Port: (33203 . localhost) Pid: 6518 CL-USER> (require 'csv) ; Loading #p"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/csv/csv.asd". ; Loading #p"/usr/lib/common-lisp/cmucl/csv/csv-src.x86f".

And this message shows up in the *inferior-lisp* buffer:

* ;; Connection to Emacs lost. ;; [ ; [GC threshold exceeded with 12,319,528 bytes in use. Commencing GC.] ; [GC completed with 1,037,136 bytes retained and 11,282,392 bytes freed.] ; [GC will next occur when at least 13,037,136 bytes are in use.]

Error in function COMMON-LISP::ASSERT-ERROR: Short read: length=5910572 pos=28]

Any suggestions?? --ET.
