M-. does not only exist in Slime but really kicks ass compared with
usual tags finding as found in other programming modes.

If that may be of any help to you, in slime-mode on my setup the
shortcut M-. is bound to slime-edit-definition, and M-, to
slime-pop-find-definition-stack (I typically do M-, after you are done
with looking at the definition shown me by M-.)

While we are at it, are you using slime with tramp ?
When M-. my emacs crashes.
This is only in slime with tramp on emacs from cvs.
Without tramp it works fine. In fact with stable emacs (not from cvs)
slime with tramp also works fine.
But tramp in this case is slow. cvs version is fast (it caches.)

No. So I guess that I can't help you on this one :).

I have observed that the file you are currently in needs to have been loaded
for M-. to work in slime.
I could be wrong. Would appreciate someone confirming.

That's correct, it asks the underlaying Lisp process for the source
location. (If the underlaying Lisp cannot provide any information, you
can still use a TAGS file, see `slime-edit-definition-fallback-function'.)
It shouldn't land you in the debugger, though.
