Yesterday I picked the latest slime code from cvs and attempted to run
it using sbcl.  I can't seem to get it to work and I'm not sure where
to start looking for the problem.  Perhaps my blindness is due to the
fact that I'm absolutely new to lisp programming.

Below is the output from M-x slime:

(load "/home/nochiel/my-code/lisp/el/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t)
(swank:start-server "/tmp/slime.6027" :external-format :iso-latin-1-unix)


This is SBCL 0.9.5.9, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
