Perhaps you haven't received or read my previous message in this
thread.  I already mentioned that the DONT-CLOSE argument to
SWANK:CREATE-SWANK-SERVER can be used to keep the socket open.

The security implication is, that everybody who is able to connect to
the swank socket can execute arbitrary in your Lisp.
