In ~/.swank.lisp you mean?

I get the incorrect result on my laptop running Linux 2.6.0. If I add
this line to my ~/.swank.lisp:

  (setq swank:*communication-style* :fd-handler)

Then I get the correct result.

Could you please double-check?

(This is based on the previous idea that Linux is saving/restoring
floating point modes when calling the SIGIO handler.)
