I wonder if there is some way to reset the information that MP uses to find definitions. Right now, I have a running image with a file which I have done a lot of editing on, and although MP happily finds definitions, it finds completely wrong ones. For instance I have a generic function where if I MP it, I get the list with the GF itself and all methods, but each one of those when selected jumps to a completely unrelated form in the source.

Which Lisp?
CMUCL and SBCL use source-paths to find sources, but they can become stale if the file has been edited since compilation. The CMUCL backend does some special caching to reduce the number of bad cases (possibly introducing some other ones of course..)
If you do `C-c C-k' to recompile the file then the source locations should become properly synchronized. With CMUCL this updates the cache and finding definitions should continue to work even after heavily hacking the source file.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that it is CMUCL.

Thanks, this worked perfectly.
