Sorry, should have clarified before.

I'm using CVS SBCL 0.8.14 (I don't know the most minor number), and I'm 
running SLIME with CVS Carbon Emacs ("GNU Emacs 21.3.50.1 
(powerpc-apple-darwin7.3.0) of 2004-04-17 on Taggart.local").

uname -a => Darwin taggart.local 7.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.5.0: Thu 
Aug  5 19:26:16 PDT 2004; root:xnu/xnu-517.7.21.obj~3/RELEASE_PPC  
Power Macintosh powerpc
