This is probably a problem with multi-threading caused by
mp::startup-idle-and-top-level-loops, but I have to try it myself to
see what the problems are.  In the meantime you can try to call
mp::startup-idle-and-top-level-loops in your .swank.lisp, but
debugging will probably not work very well.  An older version of SLIME
might work better, e.g, the version tagged with SLIME-0-9.
