Oh, tell me more. I have had to wrestle these things to the ground time 
and again. You all are likely dealing with a Lisp thru the Slime or 
ILisp intermediary, which will complicate things. The good news is that 
it just takes a few days of intense head-banging and then everything is 
under control. As Lispniks the ability to stop and start gracefully is 
not something we can relinquish, full stop.

Don't hesitate to check with me if you are getting hung up on normally 
survivable backtraces.
