That appears to be a new problem with slime.  Loading the swank system
doesn't actually load it anymore, unless you manually call
(swank-loader::init).  I've mentioned the problem on IRC, so perhaps
it'll get fixed soon.  (If it's still not fixed in a few days, I'd
suggest asking on slime-devel.)


Thanks,
