I just came accross this situation sometimes. It's possible that my lisp 
   program runs into an endless loop due to some bug. How can I terminae 
running it?

Currently, I use Clisp + Slime+ Xemacs. What I did is to kill the lisp 
process manually and restart everything. Is there any easier way to kill 
the "running-for-ever" program under slime without restart/reload?


Thanks a lot!

Under slime, hit C-c C-c (slime-interrupt).  This throws you into the
debugger, from which you can exit to toplevel by typing q.

...unless you're on Windows with CLISP. In this case switch to
*inferior-lisp* buffer and press C-c C-c and proceed to debugger.
