I did C-u M-x slime RET (I noticed that I could use a prefix argument
by reading the source). Then at the prompt I got I prepended "nohup"
before the program (/usr/local/bin/sbcl in my case). It worked!

Will there be any bad side effects from doing this (using nohup) or
can I expect it to work whatever I want to do?
