I updated my SLIME recently from cvs and now it gets disconnected rather frequently, with the following message: ;; Event history end. ;; Connection to Emacs lost. [ ;; condition: #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "a constant string" {12ABEC59}> is closed. ;; type: SWANK::SLIME-PROTOCOL-ERROR ;; encoding: :UTF-8-UNIX style: :FD-HANDLER dedicated: NIL] This is SBCL 0.9.11 on a powerbook, with Emacs built about a month ago from cvs. Any ideas on what I might do to stop this happening, or to find more details on what the problem is?
