Problem with time in Slime

	I'm trying to time a function within Slime.  The function completes,  
but then I get the error listed below.  The same code and call to time  
works from the command line.  The value (10000 292411 50005000) is  
what is returned from the function being timed.

	Is this a Clozure issue, a Slime issue, or a user issue?

Thanks,

Patrick

I don't know, but CL:TIME is a macro, not a generic function.

? (find-all-symbols "TIME")

Is there more than one ?  If so, are you calling something other than
CL:TIME ?

? (macro-function 'cl:time)

Does this return a (macroexpansion) function ?

	Thanks, I should have checked that myself.  I seem to have  
inadvertently stomped on time.  Definitely a user issue.

Thanks again,

Patrick
