We require version 2.49 or higher. We also require socket support, so
you may have to start CLISP with "clisp -K full".
Under Windows, interrupting (with C-c C-b) doesn't work. Emacs sends
a SIGINT signal, but the signal is either ignored or CLISP exits
immediately.
On Windows, CLISP may refuse to parse filenames like
"C:\\DOCUME~1\\johndoe\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\slime.1424" when we actually
mean C:\Documents and Settings\johndoe\Local Settings\slime.1424. As
a workaround, you could set slime-to-lisp-filename-function to some
function that returns a string that is accepted by CLISP.
Function arguments and local variables aren't displayed properly in
the backtrace. Changes to CLISP's C code are needed to fix this
problem. Interpreted code is usually easer to debug.
