This is with the cvs head of slime and Allegro Common Lisp. Not always but often, when I choose to compile a file via c-x c-k, the compile happens and then I get tossed in the emacs lisp debugger with a message similar to: Debugger entered: nil (condition-case error (slime-net-read) (error (debug) (slime-net- close process t) (error "net-read error: %S" error))) slime-net-read-or-lose(#<process SLIME Lisp>) slime-process-available-input(#<process SLIME Lisp>) slime-net-filter(#<process SLIME Lisp> "000029(:write-string \"; No value\" :repl-result)000017(:return (:ok nil) 961)") once this has happened, just about every interaction with slime provides the same (or similar) bug. To stop it, I must quick the slime session and restart it. This started happening a few days ago after I updated. It's very irritating.
