I have an application with Swank loaded running standalone.

If the application gets an error and enters the Lisp=E2=80=99s native =
debugger, I want to be able to attach Slime to that Lisp and see the =
existing error in SLDB.

The application does a CREATE-SERVER on startup and I can use m-X =
slime-connect to connect to it. But, I only get a Slime REPL and don=E2=80=
=99t see how to point SLDB at the Lisp thread that=E2=80=99s already in =
the debugger.

If the above makes sense, can you suggest how to do what I want?

(The concept is that, if a customer ends up in the debugger, we can help =
him debug using Slime.)

Thanks,

  - Gary
