[slime-devel] Complaints about trying to require SB-INTROSPECT when loading with a core file

Hi,

I'm trying to work on a lisp app (maxima) which "make"s to a core file.
My usual model being to compile a recent version of CVS, load slime with
said core file and then C-M-x changes I make.

However for some reason after switching to a new computer (the old one
quite literally fell apart!), I'm unable to load the relevant core file.
My incantation is

(setq
 slime-lisp-implementations
 '((sbcl
    ("sbcl") :coding-system utf-8-unix)

   (maxima
    ("sbcl"
     "--core"
     "/home/rupert/src/maxima/src/binary-sbcl/maxima.core"))))

(yes, it is pointing in the right place) and I am able to load the
program from the command line with lisp --core <corefile>. However,
trying C-- M-x slime gives the output which I've (hopefully) attached.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Specifically, sbcl seems
to be failing to require sb-introspect, but:

* (require 'sb-introspect)

("SB-INTROSPECT")
* 

So I presume that it's something a bit more subtle!
