If you upgraded from MKCL 1.1.0 RC1 and had used slime previously with it
then there is probably
an issue with the slime cache. Can you try to flush it? It is located at

%HOME%\.slime\fasl\2010-11-13\mkcl-1.1.0-windows-x86-64

and Emacs usually sets: HOME=%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Roaming

I normally just delete that directory and it gets rebuilt on the next slime
invocation.

A problem with the slime cache would have shown up in the *inferior-lisp*
buffer.
Could you send me a complete copy of the *inferior-lisp* buffer content,
along
with a complete copy of the *slime-events* buffer also?

I hope that you have something like (setq *load-verbose* t
*compile-verbose* t)
in your ~/.mkclrc before you start slime. The content of *inferior-lisp* is
somewhat
more informative then.

I am not familiar with the requirements of starting slime manually but
naively, I would have used
swank:start-server instead of swank:create-server.

Can I have also a full transcript of that REPL session.

Thanks for your help,

Jean-Claude

P.S.: Are you still interested in a Quicklisp port to MKCL? I have one on
github right now in process of being merged with the official Quicklisp
master branch.
