[slime-devel] Slime fails to load

[Michael]

Slime suddenly stopped working, cause unknown.  Using either the Gentoo version
or using the latest CVS downloaded today, when attempting to start Slime in
emacs I end up with the following output.  The REPL prompt never appears. 
Please advise how I may restore a functioning slime.  Thank you.
