slime cvs or 2.0? i believe, but am not sure, that you're one of the
few people to run slime on lispworks 5 (it hasn't been out that long),
so it may be lispworks 5 specific.

slime hackers: we still get these kinds of problems occasionaly and
it's really hard to figure out what's going on (or what isn't going
on) from the output in inferior-lisp. is there a reason we don't have
some more verbose logging in there?
