Does anyone else have the same problem with Allegro CL 8.0 and SLIME? If I type M-x slime-update-indentation, Allegro CL starts growing until it hits a STORAGE-CONDITION or even segfaults.

However, typing (update-indentation-information) in the REPL just works. I have come up with the patch below which fixes the problem for me, but I don't understand why.

Unless there are no objections, I will put this fix into CVS anyway.
