Some chap on #lisp just reported the following:

(01:07:03) hnaz: hm. emacs-23.0.50 + slime-cvs + sbcl-1.0.8.19 +
                 linux-2.6.23-rc4 won't work together
(01:07:28) hnaz: hangs at `Connecting to swank on port 23...'
(01:07:50) hnaz: the sbcl is up and running, it evaluates expressions,
                 but the repl won't come up
(01:08:18) hnaz: running the same software on linux-2.6.22.1 works fine.

This sounds a lot like your issue. If really so, could you try a
different kernel version, please?
