I've seen a few reports of the following error occurring when people
start SLIME with clojure:

user=> java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve symbol: progn in this
context (NO_SOURCE_FILE:1)

It turns out this occurs when I launch SLIME with "C-u M-x slime RET
clojure RET", but I found out that things work perfectly if I instead
launch clojure using "M-- M-x slime RET clojure RET". (By the way, I'm
launching clojure from a shell script as demonstrated by Bill
Clementson in his blog.)

Does anybody have any idea what might account for this difference? I'm
not really expert enough in SLIME at this point for it to be obvious
to me what the difference is in how clojure is being launched which
causes the error in one case, but not in another.

One other piece of interesting information might be that I'm using
SLIME with sbcl as well, but if I remove all the sbcl-related
configuration, "M-x slime" will start clojure in a healthy way, but "C-
u M-x slime RET clojure RET" will still break.

Thanks for any help you folks can provide - at this point this is
merely a curiosity, rather than something which is preventing me from
using clojure.
