I think the definition of `block' was not available at macro expansion time. Please try again with rev. 1.4 of bridge.el and make sure that no old bridge.elc gets loaded.

Rather confusingly (for me), I was making changes to the gentoo package at the same time this fix was committed. At first I thought it was a gentoo problem that I fixed (even though that doesn't really make any sense, since the minimal packaging gentoo does for slime cvs doesn't touch any of the elisp code). However, I have confirmed that the changes to bridge.el fixed things quite nicely. So thank you very much. Matt (perhaps I should sleep)
