I found it in http://www.ruptured-duck.com/jed-users/msg01916.html

  slang-2.0.6 had a bug in the handling of byte-compiled files
  containing strings with the "$" suffix, e.g.,
   
      file = "$HOME/foo.sl"$;
  
  This bug was corrected in 2.0.7.
  
This is a *grave* bug, so please set up the requirement again.
