Type, say, (let ((x 0)) (/ x)) in *slime-repl* and then `l' in *sldb* at the 0th frame of the backtrace. Emacs will say

sldb-list-locals: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer *sldb*>

The reason is that recently all occurrences of `princ' in sldb-princ-locals were changed to `insert' (in order to support faces), so with-output-to-string in sldb-list-locals has become the wrong thing to use. Here is a patch.
