Thanks for the hint, it indeed worked with -norc, so I then checked my
~/.eclrc and there was a line which was inadvertently overriding
asdf:*central-registry* instead of appending to it.  Fixing that line
causes multiple instances of require on the same system to work, as
well as unmodified slime to work.

Sorry for the touble :)

That aside, I noticed that the new swank backend indeed now select(2)s
as previously discussed here, using the serve-event contrib.  I however
noticed that the select call uses a very small timeout (about 1/4th of
a second); is that because it must as well poll a non-selectable source
for new events?  Or is it unintended?

Thanks,
