In theory, all swank threads should be killed and all swank streams
should be closed.  It's not easy to handle errors across multiple
threads, so I don't know if the current implementation actually does
what it should.  We had many bugs in this area, and I would be surprised
if we fixed them all.

You could try swank::restart-server and after that M-x slime-connect.
