I suspect this error is coming from our "Vim FFI",
vim/runtime/if_ecl.lisp should define this function.  Perhaps you
aren't tracking the latest vim repo (plus recent patches I've posted)?
 This function is required, and used in buffer-util, through the macro
WITH-BUFFER.

I think I may have seen this.  If you could possibly find a minimal
code snippet that you can reproduce on, I'll take a look at it.

Do you mean (BREAK) in the code?  This should drop you into a
debugger.  Otherwise, you can interrupt code with <Leader>b.  You will
need to have a recent code drop though.  Slim-vim code is moving very
quickly at the moment, you probably either want to track the very
latest Vim and Slim-vim, or stick with a version that appears to be
keeping you happy.
