[slime-devel] LOAD-SYSTEM and stealing file locks
I've recently noticed that when I do a ,load-system and Emacs offers to save modified files, it complains about the files being locked by another process and asking if I want to steal the lock etc. However the PID it gives is in fact my Emacs process. So I wonder if SLIME is doing something funny under the covers--I can't imagine what but I finally correlated this with usin ,load-system so I'm hoping someone here might just know what's going on. -Peter -- Peter Seibel peter@gigamonkeys.com Lisp is the red pill. -- John Fraser, comp.lang.lisp

FYI I've had the same problem recently. Unfortunately I don't know what the problem might be. -- '(Yours parenthetically), peter barabas. ((call/cc call/cc) (call/cc call/cc))

Should be fixed now. It was one of those dynamic scoping bugs. We had a local variable "system-name", but that wasn't so good because system-name is used when for creating lock filenames. Helmut.
