Bug Description
I just installed SLIME on my Windows 7 system, and when I run 'M-x slime' I get a warning during startup:
*** - OPEN: Directory #P"C:\\
Thereafter, I get a continuous message in the emacs minibuffer:
Polling "c:/users/
The directory it's checking is coming from my %TEMP% environment variable, and it definitely exists. The slime.10396 file it's polling does not exist, so I guess it failed to create it.
If I modify my %TEMP% variable to point to "C:\temp" instead, both the startup warning and the minibuffer message disappear. So, it seems like SLIME is having a problem with the default definition of %TEMP%, which is defined in the registry as "%USERPROFILE%
I didn't try to modify %TEMP%.But it work good on another PC with same OS windowsXP SP3,and %TEMP% is default.
