Well, I finally decided to try a newer version of slime (was using
2009-08-xx).  It seems to work just fine for me with xemacs 21.5.29 and
the 2010-04 snapshot of cmucl.

I didn't quite follow what you were doing with try.lisp, but I can C-c
C-k and slime works as expected.  Evaluating (/ 1 0) in the slime repl
instantly pops up sldb as expected.

I guess this isn't really helpful to you since I'm using xemacs and not
emacs.  Just another data point.

Perhaps you should use :spawn or :fd-handler for
swank::*communication-style*?  I use :fd-handler.
