I get this error:

;; Loading #P"/home/paolo/.swank.lisp".

Reader error at 55 on #<Stream for file "/home/paolo/.swank.lisp">:
The symbol "*SLDB-PRINT-PRETTY*" is not external in the SWANK package.
[...]

I have grepped the sources, and the variable is indeed not there.
What's puzzling is that a few hours ago I checked out a fresh working
copy from the the CVS repository...

I recall the rename.  At that time, since I knew I was not going to
update my sources for some time, I added a comment to my ~/.swank.lisp
noting the new name for the variable.  Bet when I tried it today and
got the above error, I thought some other changes had been made while
I was not watching.
