Hi Ari,

I think the issue is that the SBCL you're running is too old for recent 
versions of SLIME. The most recent SBCL binary on http://www.sbcl.org/ 
is 0.8.14 (paging antifuchs!); try downloading and using this.

I'm guessing your SLIME compile never actually finished, and that's why 
not everything works right.
