What is the status of this bug/issue?

I'm losing track of all the bugs in the system. It would be very helpful (and your bug is less likely to be forgotten) if you could file Trac bugs against 1.0 for these reports?

It's easy enough to get a common-lisp.net account to sign onto Trac.

Thank you,
Ian

"Typically, in an interactive listener, the invocation of abort returns to the Lisp reader phase of the Lisp read-eval-print loop, though in some batch or multi-processing situations there may be situations in which having it
kill the running process is more appropriate."

are you sure that it is a good idea to make it returning to a random point in program (after with-transaction) rather than to a command prompt (what
people would expect)?
and if people want to abort transaction only, can't they just call
abort-transaction?

maybe we'll better fix this bug? non-local control transfer should correctly
abort transaction.
i think "controller lost" is only possible when when something awful happens
to the socket.
i can't reproduce "controller lost" via abort restart.
i.e. i run such code

(ele:with-transaction () (make-instance 'something) (error "barf"))

and when SLIME debugger opens, i choose ABORT restart, and it returns to
REPL.
and works quite fine afterwards..

if you have that "controller lost" thing reproducible, please share how to
reproduce this
