IIUC, the issue lies in `slime-swank-port-file' which names the file
"where the SWANK server writes its TCP port number." That function
simply returns the value of `temporary-file-directory' which is later
passed to swank. When swank tries to open that file, it fails to parse
"~/temp".

I think so. Can you confirm <https://github.com/slime/slime/pull/118>
fixes things for you? BTW, is this a regression?

I also noticed the swank side of this mechanism could be made a bit
more robust. Created <https://github.com/slime/slime/issues/119> to
track that.

Cheers,
