Hi,

I updated slime to 2010-09-09 from 2010-04-something, and I was unable to start swank because of the following error: PARSE-NAMESTRING: syntax error in filename "C:\\program files\\emacs23.1\\...swank.lisp" at position 2

I was able to fix it by setting slime-to-lisp-filename-function to #'identity (based on an old post from 2008). Is that the correct fix?

If it works, good. It would be better though, if we could find a default value for slime-to-lisp-filename-function that works out of the box. Is this a Cygwin based Lisp or why is the error "at position 2"? Also, where do the three dots "..." come from? Helmut
