[slime-devel] SLIME eval-xxx inconsistencies

[Lynn Quam]

Looking at the code in swank.lisp, I suspect a *PACKAGE* bug in the following:

(defslimefun oneway-eval-string (string buffer-package)
  "Evaluate STRING in BUFFER-PACKAGE, without sending a reply.
The debugger hook is inhibited during the evaluation."
  (let ((*buffer-package* (guess-package-from-string buffer-package))
        (*package* *buffer-package*)
        (*debugger-hook* nil))
    (eval (read-form string))))

My guess is that (let* ...) was intended so that *PACKAGE* is bound to
the new value of *BUFFER-PACKAGE*.
