Is it possible to drive SBCL like I mentioned at the top with LispWorks and if so, how do I do it?

There was a race condition in the thread initialization code which only occurred when slime-connect was invoked in the REPL buffer. It should be fixed in the CVS version.

Helmut,

That's good news, thanks a lot.

I eventually fixed my problem by being more disciplined, which I should have done in the first place. I wrote fiveAM unit tests to spawn off carefully setup & interacting threads. Much better than hand testing in the REPL.
