this, under certain compiler optimizations, will overflow the stack.

you didn't create a new thread here. you've sent your only thread into
an infinite loop (whcih isn't a great idea).

try something like this:

(mp::startup-idle-and-top-level-loops) ; not need if you're running under slime

(mp:make-process (lambda () (loop)) :name "kill me now")
