Emacs version:
GNU Emacs 21.4.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars).

SBCL is the latest Debian package, version 1.0, it starts like this:
====
This is SBCL 1.0, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

Then I do slime-connect - in the echo area I see "Connecting to Swank on
port 4005", and then nothing happens, neither on Emacs or on the SBCL
side.

I start SBCL like this:

detachtty --dribble-file $HOME/tmp/lisp-server/lisp-dribble \
	--log-file $HOME/tmp/lisp-server/detachtty.log \
	--pid-file $HOME/tmp/lisp-server/lisp.pid \
	$HOME/tmp/lisp-server/lisp-socket \
	/usr/bin/sbcl \
	--no-userinit \
	--eval "(require 'swank)" \
	--eval "(setq *debug-io* *standard-output*)" \
	--eval "(swank:create-swank-server 4005)" \
