This sounds like this problem:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.steel-bank.devel/12464

OTOH, SBCL shouldn't consume so much CPU time if it's deadlocked.

Does the problem also occur if you set SWANK:*COMMUNICATION-STYLE*
to something other than :spawn ?
Also keep an eye on the *inferior-lisp* buffer; it might contain
some error message.
