Never mind, I have solved the problem.

Before building SLIME with CMUCL Snapshot 2005-09, I removed the file
slime/present.x86f compiled with CMUCL Snapshot 2005-08.  I also found
an old slime/swank-loader.x86f file, which I also removed.  I had
forgotten that not all SLIME-related fasl files are under
~/.slime/fasl/.

I also use a CMUCL image with McCLIM.  In order to make it work with
SLIME and CMUCL Snapshot 2005-09, I had to recompile McCLIM with CMUCL
Snapshot 2005-09.  Otherwise, I got a similar error with the
slime/present.lisp file.
