when I enter (code-char 256) in the repl, it dies, and in the minibuffer emacs says: Lisp connection died unexpectedly; exit code 256 (to that tune).
Using sbcl 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu3 and slime HEAD from cvs on Linux 2.6.15-27-686.
Do you have
(setq slime-net-coding-system 'utf-8-unix)
set in .emacs?
Also, your SBCL is almost a year older then your Slime, which may very well be a factor here. I'd suggest you update your SBCL (preferably from upstream).
