You must use a SBCL with thread support enabled. I do this by adding a
file called customize-target-features.lisp in my SBCL source directory
that has this in it:

  (lambda (list) (pushnew :sb-thread list))

The SBCL built with that file present will have thread support, and I
use that for a few different Hunchentoot sites with no problems.
