Seems so.
I can't start slime/sbcl from emacs anymore (`M-x slime'). While
investigating i found out that the following doesn't work either:

 ralf at hobbes:/LISP/slime$ rlwrap sbcl --noinform --userinit /dev/null 

 * (asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :swank)

 ; loading system definition from /usr/local/src/LISP/slime/swank.asd into
 ; #<PACKAGE "ASDF3932">
 ; registering #<SYSTEM :SWANK {481A7439}> as SWANK NIL
 * (find-package :swank)

 NIL
 *
