I don't think that SLIME is the culprit from that stack frame, which is
merely the act of SLIME eval'ing the ASDF:LOAD-SYSTEM form.

Unfortunately, I can't replicate your problem.  I don't have access to
Windows 10, but for my closest version of Java7

The form

succeeds for me with

Have you tried just loading VECTOR (and its declared Quicklisp
dependendencies) to eliminate other code as the source of the error?

You may want to try with Java8 to see if that makes any difference.

P.S. Unless you are subscribed to

usually) needs to approve your messages to the mailing list manually, so
there will be a delay in your messages.
