Hi.

I'm using CVS slime from yesterday, and the CMUCL 19b release on x86. I have a collection of libraries I load at startup. One of these involves loading a C .o file (to get some C functions).

If my .cmucl-init file loads everything explicitly, it works fine. I've never had any luck making a core file that includes foreign libraries (is this even possible?), so I made a core that loads all the asdf systems except the one that contains the foreign libraries (and also commented out all the earlier parts of the .cmucl-init file). If I do this, everything's fine if I start cmucl from the command-line, but if I start it in slime, it appears to hang loading the foreign library: it prints ";;; Running /usr/bin/ld..." and then hangs indefinitely. This seems to be happening even with the communication style set to :fd-handler (my naive first line of defense against SLIME issues).

Any ideas about this?
