[slime-devel] No REPL with SBCL and Emacs Snapshot 23

Due to a problem I was having with SBCL suddenly taking 100% processor
time, I recently upgraded from the existing Ubuntu SBCL package to
version 1.0.23 and the latest version of SLIME from the CVS repository,
running on Emacs Snapshot (GTK) 23. Unfortunately, now SLIME can connect
to SBCL but does not create the REPL buffer.  SLIME creates the
*slime-events* * buffer and the *inferior-lisp* * buffer.  In the
inferior-lisp buffer, a message states that Swank has started and lists
the port number.

Here is the complete *inferior-lisp* buffer contents:
(progn (load "/home/jonathan/.emacs.d/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose
t) (funcall (read-from-string "swank-loader:init")) (funcall
(read-from-string "swank:start-server") "/tmp/slime.12111"
:coding-system "iso-latin-1-unix"))

This is SBCL 1.0.23, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

44287

This is what I get in the *Messages* buffer:
Polling "/tmp/slime.12111".. (Abort with `M-x slime-abort-connection'.)
[7 times]
Connecting to Swank on port 44287.. [2 times]
Connected. Hacks and glory await!

This appears to suggest that SLIME thinks it has succeeded in creating
the REPL.  However, it does not appear in the buffer menu or the
complete buffer list.

Any assistance with this would be appreciated.
