Just after starting SLIME, the *inferior-lisp* buffer is apparently inactive. It contains:
; Loading #p"/home/paolo/.cmucl-init.lisp". CMU Common Lisp 18e, running on plato With core: /opt/cmucl-18e/lib/cmucl/lib/lisp.core Dumped on: Thu, 2003-04-03 15:47:12+02:00 on orion See http://www.cons.org/cmucl/ for support information.

T * ;; Swank ready.
But if I type any form in it and press ENTER, it is not evaluated and the prompt no longer appears. *slime-repl* works fine instead. Is this the expected behavior? I can't tell because I don't use *inferior-lisp* often.
I'm using SLIME CVS sources updated a couple of hours ago, CMUCL 18e and GNU Emacs 20.7.2 under Debian Woody.
