Using Carbon Emacs, slime-message currently uses message, which only shows up to 7 lines. Similarly, slime-display-message doesn't necessarily show all of the message, either. For me, this means truncated displays of compiler notes :-(
The following patch fixes slime-message to show the entirety of a message, at least on my system.

Can't you change this with max-mini-window-height and resize-mini-windows?

I didn't apply your patch because fit-window-to-buffer is not present in Emacs 20 or XEmacs, but we need a working slime-display-message there.

Whoever named max-mini-window-height needs to check into rehab, that's remarkably impervious to apropos. Thanks, that's what tried looking for first.

Whoops.
