#105 inspector help barfs (nested inspectors)

[Jörg Höhle]

Maybe a problem with nested inspectors?
> (inspect 1)
INSPECT-- type :h for help; :q to return to the REPL --
-> :e (inspect (function
list))

#<SYSTEM-FUNCTION LIST>: atom
type: COMPILED-FUNCTION
class: #1=#<BUILT-IN-CLASS FUNCTION>
INSPECT-- type :h for help; :q to return to the REPL --
-> :q

NIL
INSPECT-- type :h for help; :q to return to the REPL --
-> :foo
command `:FOO' is not valid here
INSPECT-- type :h for help; :q to return to the REPL --
-> :h
*** commands:
:h, :? this help
:p, :a Print the current item Again
:s re-inspect this item (Self)
:d Describe the current item

*** - SYSTEM::%STRUCTURE-REF: NIL is not a structure
of type SYSTEM::INSPECTION
1. Break INSPECT-TMP-PACKAGE-552[45]> :a
[10]
Each of the steps appears necessary. E.g. I cannot
leave out entering :foo (or :ß or some other invalid
command). Nor can I leave out entering a nested
inspector.

thank you for your bug report.
the bug has been fixed in the CVS tree.
you can either wait for the next release (recommended)
or check out the current CVS tree (see http://clisp.cons.org\)
and build CLISP from the sources (be advised that between
releases the CVS tree is very unstable and may not even build
on your platform).
