Thanks. There was nothing in *slime-events* at all. The command is
there, but no output or diagnostics. Where does SWANK log things when
*log-events* is set to T? It looks like swank:*log-output* is set to
standard error, but I'm not sure what that points to when the SBCL
instance is started using M-x slime in Emacs.
