I finally discovered a patch, posted by Samium Gromoff in the thread
"PATCH  Output redirection in the SIMPLE SERVE EVENTS case." (see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/8513), documenting
this bug and patching it.

However, it introduced a new bug:  This time, the banner does not
appear, and I get the following lines in my REPL at startup, instead:

Anybody know how to patch this patch?  Apparently, this patch does not
seem to have been applied in the CVS version of swank.lisp
downloadable from
http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/snapshots/slime-current.tgz.
