It only happens when I start modifying the file regardless of editing  
code or comments.

There is communication going on between sbcl/swank and slime.

The following message is printed to *slime-events*

(:emacs-rex
(swank:buffer-first-change "/Users/king/develop/myprojects/xmls-path/ 
xmls-path.asd")
":xmls-path-system" t 263)

and swank writes the following in the SBCL instance I'm running

;; swank:close-connection: end of file on #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "a  
constant string" {11BADDB9}>

I have no idea why this happen.
