The slime-quit function no longer works, apparently because slime-dispatch-event no longer handles that message. I checked out CVS history, and it appears this has been the case since the state machine stuff was removed around revision 198.

Is there a function to use to cancel a C-xC-e calculation stuck in an endless loop besides slime-quit, or is this really broken?

Yeah, this is broken for quite some time now. It was originally intended to have two commands: one for interrupting and one for aborting (or quitting). The intended difference was that the Quit command throws back to the toplevel immediately and the interrupt commands should pop up the debugger.

Currently there's only slime-interrupt C-c C-b. 'b' is for 'break'. C-c C-b should always work. I consider it as one of the more important features. If doesn't work, please let us know.

The quit command can be emulated by first interrupting and then quitting in the debugger. I'm not sure whether we need a separate quit command, as it is somewhat redundant.
