As of today's CVS slime doesn't seem to create the interaction buffer. The inferior lisp looks alright but, at the "happy hacking" message, no repl appears (the buffer itself is missing). Here is the *inferior-lisp* buffer:
(progn (load "/usr/home/wcp/emacs/slime/swank-loader.lisp" :verbose t) (funcall (read-from-string "swank-loader:init")) (funcall (read-from-string "swank:start-server") "/tmp/slime.21159" :coding-system "iso-latin-1-unix"))

A this point the inferior-lisp buffer is not replaced by the REPL.
The relevant Emacs messages are:
Polling "/tmp/slime.21159".. (Abort with `M-x slime-abort-connection'.) [6 times] Connecting to Swank on port 50722.. [2 times] Connected. Let the hacking commence!
/tmp/slime.21159 is missing, though.
