As happy as I am to blame things on clc, this time it it's not at  
fault (-:

The problem was a recent change to swank.asd, compounded by a recent  
file system interface change in SBCL, which caused asdf to look for a  
compilation output file that wasn't ever going to get written. The  
last commit to slime by Marco Baringer should get things working again.

If you have a swank-loader.fasl from working around this issue, I  
recommend you delete it (-:

Cheers,
