I cannot load the "clim-listener" system with the latest asdf.lisp and
latest SBCL (1.0.50.3+). A quick way for me to reproduce:

  sbcl --disable-debugger --no-userinit \
       --load asdf.lisp \
       --load ~/quicklisp/setup.lisp \
       --eval '(ql:quickload :clim-listener)' \
       --eval '(sb-ext:quit)'

If I omit "--load asdf.lisp" (which loads the latest asdf.lisp from
git), I am able to load clim-listener without any trouble.

The error is this:

  There is no class named CLIM-LISTENER::TEXT/X-LISP-SYSTEM.
