Me too, and I hadn't even noticed that this misbehaviour involved slime, I thought my UNIX box was misconfigured! I'm using Emacs-21.3 with slime-1.2.1 on Ubuntu/Hoary/Debian Linux-686.

I want to test slime with clisp-native-win32 as well, but I fear I'll have to wait until I have resources to build a new win32-clisp, because the one I have there may be too old.
