[slime-devel] stuck polling on windows

[mike]

Hi

I'm trying to get slime and slime-mode working with acl82express 
(Allegro CL 8.2).

Here is the relevant part of my .emacs:

; This is sample code for starting and specifying defaults to the
; Emacs-Lisp interface.
   (push "c:/acl82express/eli" load-path)
   (load "fi-site-init.el")
   (setq fi:common-lisp-image-name "c:/acl82express/alisp")
   (setq fi:common-lisp-image-file "c:/acl82express/alisp.dxl")
   (setq fi:common-lisp-directory "c:/acl82express/")

     (add-to-list 'load-path 
"c:/Users/Mike/Downloads/slime-current/slime-current/slime-2012-09-27/") 
; your SLIME directory
     (setq inferior-lisp-program "c:/acl82express/allegro-express.exe") 
; your Lisp system
     (require 'slime)
     (slime-setup)

When I do 'M-x slime' this is at the top of *inferior-lisp*:

(progn (load 
"c:/Users/Mike/Downloads/slime-current/slime-current/slime-2012-09-27/swank-loader.lisp" 
:verbose t) (funcall (read-from-string "swank-loader:init")) (funcall 
(read-from-string "swank:start-server") 
"c:/Users/Mike/AppData/Local/Temp/slime.8336"))

and this from *Messages*:

and it just keeps polling and when I check in 
c:/Users/Mike/AppData/Local/Temp/, slime.8336 isn't there.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?  I can repost if 
more/different output is needed.  FWIW, I'm running under an account 
with admin privs.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
