Strange.  The EVAL-STRING function was changed two weeks
ago and has now 3 arguments, but was apparently called with 2
arguments.  Without additional information I can only suggest that you
open the correct slime.el and M-x eval-buffer that buffer and retry.

To debug the Lisp side you can set the following variables in your
~/.swank.lisp:

 (setq swank::*redirect-io* nil
       swank::*swank-in-background* nil
       swank::*log-events* t)

This prints all received messages.  

If it still doesn't work, send us a complete backtrace and also exact
version numbers for your Lisp/Slime/Emacs setup.

Helmut.
