[slime-devel] Slime hangs on startup

[Liam M. Healy]

Newly-installed Debian unstable
Linux zotz 2.6.11-1-686 #1 Mon Jun 20 22:00:38 MDT 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
SBCL 0.9.1.41, SLIME from CVS

Does not switch from *inferior-lisp* frame to listener in either mule
or nomule XEmacs; hangs with e.g.
;; Swank started at port: 1033.

In the repl window, there is a message like
  debugger invoked on a UNDEFINED-FUNCTION in thread 5710:
    The function SWANK:SWANK-DEBUGGER-HOOK is undefined.
and then a prompt, but entering anything at the prompt results in no
action but a message in the modeline
; pipelined request... (swank:listener-eval "
")


C-h l shows

I've had no problems with slime on other computers, even other
computers on this network.  Any ideas?  Hints on how to debug?

Thanks.
