Actually, whether you have this problem probably depends on your
setup; I only have it with my regular GNU Emacs (which reads in my
.emacs file) when calling "M-x slime RET", but not when using the
default Lispbox (which ignores that file).  Here's the relevant
section from my .emacs file:

>;; Setup for SLIME
>(setq inferior-lisp-program "C:/bin/clisp-2.45/full/lisp.exe
>-B C:/bin/clisp-2.45/full
>-M C:/bin/clisp-2.45/full/lispinit.mem
>-ansi -q")
>(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/bin/emacs/site-lisp/slime/")
>(require 'slime)
>(slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-asdf slime-banner))
