I am trying to save a SBCL image with SWANK in it. For some reason it
seems to disappear. Here is what I do:

    ·······@klibb:~$ sbcl --no-userinit
    This is SBCL 1.0.6, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

Great! Now save the lisp image to file:

    * (sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die "/home/mathias/test.core")
    [undoing binding stack and other enclosing state... done]
    [saving current Lisp image into /home/mathias/test.core:

    writing 27680768 bytes from the dynamic space at 0x09000000
    done]

Seems to go well, right?

Now starting with the new image:

    ·······@klibb:~$ sbcl --no-userinit --core test.core
    This is SBCL 1.0.6, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

    * (find-package :swank-loader)

    NIL
    *

Can anyone explain this?

Use this instead:

$ sbcl --core test.core --no-userinit

How embarrassing... I was almost certain that some modules were saved
and some not but I tested now again and that simply isn't the case,
fortunately. I must have been confused when testing this and added the
--core argument at the end some of the times I tested. Strange that
SBCL doesn't say anything about the apparently unused --core argument
though...

Anyway, thanks a bunch!

No problem. I had the same problem before, and one of my suspects
was the way SBCL handled command line arguments so I tried that.
