Slime not connecting to swank socket

When starting slime with "M-x slime" a window is created and displays the
*inferior-lisp* process with the message:

(progn (load "/Users/Dana/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (funcall
(read-from-string "swank-loader:init")) (funcall (read-from-string
"swank:start-server")
"/var/folders/gq/3hr2_3j961d6rsz4dm8x83ch0000gq/T/slime.2310"))

and polls ... forever.

Enmap 127.0.0.1

shows

4005/tcp  open  pxc-pin

so swank appears to be working and has opened the proper port but

ls /var/folders/gq/<gobbldee-goop>/T

shows no file "slime.2310". I am assuming that slime made a request to the
system for a virtual file interface to the port 127.0.0.1:4005 and that
request failed either on the slime end or the system end. Setting

M-x toggle-debug-on-error

produces no information as apparently emacs hasn't detected an error.

The slime portion of my configuration is

;; ***************************  Activate SLIME for Clozure
*******************************
(add-to-list 'load-path "/Users/Dana/slime/")  ; your SLIME directory
(setq inferior-lisp-program
"/Applications/ClozureCL.app/Contents/MacOS/dx86cl64 -K utf-8")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)

Any suggestions on how to debug this would be greatly appreciated.

Software:
OS X 10.7.5
Clozure 1.8.1 (15418)
Emacs 24.3 (9.0)
Slime cvs version downloaded 2013-09-14

Thanks
