Dear all,
Sorry for bothering you, but I have no idea how to fix a problem that I have with slime. I'm working on MacOsX 10.3 and I'm trying to switch from MCL to Emacs (22.0.50.1 powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0) + Slime (1.2.1) + CMUCL (cmucl-darwin-exp-2004-02-03-010-ppc-darwin). It works and I'm really enthusiastic about it.
But there is one problem. If I try to evaluate a s-expression that has more than 4040 characters, the lisp connection breaks with this message:
Lisp connection closed unexpectedly: connection broken by remote peer
In the *inferior-lisp* buffer, I get this:
* ;; Connection to Emacs lost. ;; [ Error in function LISP::ASSERT-ERROR: Short read: length=4091 pos=4090]
I attached a lisp file with two defuns. I can evaluate "test1", but not "test2" (test1 has 4040 characters, test2 has 4041 characters).
Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?
Thanks a lot, Martin

This sounds like the old CMUCL bug. Ray fixed it in CMUCL 19a. I think there are newer CMUCL/Darwin snapshots than your version which probably include the fix.
There's also a fix in swank-cmucl.lisp, but it conditionalized with #-cmu19. Remove the #-cmu19 and see if it helps.
Helmut.
