This is news to me. Great to have a tricky one to make life
interesting before a proposed new release too, I hate it when
everything works :-)

Please put something like this in your .swank.lisp:

  (setq swank::*log-output* (open "/tmp/log.txt" :direction :output))
  (setq swank:*log-events* t)

and then save and post the log file the next time this happens.
