The guilty commit to the kernel is:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba
(found by bisecting)

Currently I don't have time to investigate further, so I'm just
dumping this on the list, hoping that somebody else will take a
look. The kernel patch makes slight changes to how /proc files
are accessed, why would that have any effect on slime or sbcl?
Mysterious.
