Recently we added a dedicated REPL thread and I think the "control
thread" doesn't yet know about it.  As a temporary fix you can revert
listener-eval to:

 (defslimefun listener-eval (string)
     (repl-eval string))

This might result in funny behavior with special variables, because
each request is evaluated in a separate thread.  I will look it into
this at evening.
