Another piece of information. I have a more or less identical production server which isn't having this problem. But I haven't run dist-upgrade on it recently. The latest version of slime it has is v2.26.1. It's running sbcl 2.2.1.
The system giving me trouble is v2.27 slime and 2.2.2 sbcl.

I asked this question over on sbcl-help already. Stas objected. So I'll ask it again here.
Last night I started running into the debugger when trying to start slime in emacs. This morning I decided to delete all my .slime/ fasls, all of .cache/common-lisp/ all of ~/quicklisp and start with a fresh copy of quicklisp.lisp. I updated my arch system (slightly newer version of emacs) then tried to reinstall quicklisp.
The problem occurs upstream of emacs ever being started. I can reproduce the problem with these steps:
$ rm -rf .slime .cache/common-lisp/* quicklisp $ curl -O https://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp $ sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp
(quicklisp-quickstart:install)
(ql:quickload "quicklisp-slime-helper")

Neither locate nor find show any signs of any other copy of swank or slime on this system. The only thing in my .sbclrc is this:
;;; The following lines added by ql:add-to-init-file: ;;#-quicklisp (let ((quicklisp-init (merge-pathnames "quicklisp/setup.lisp" (user-homedir-pathname)))) (when (probe-file quicklisp-init) (load quicklisp-init)))

I'm running out of ideas. Does anyone have any?
Thanks.
