Thank you very much, I'm closer now (although it doesn't work normally yet).

If I put a break at the start of swank::close-connection%, Emacs shows
the debugger right after I connect to swank; then (and this is
strange), after a few seconds, the REPL shows up in the other half of
Emacs, and it works!!

So, I have now the debugger open, and a functioning REPL (until I
continue from the break); but the open debugger doesn't stop the REPL
from functioning, and on conditions on the REPL, another debugger
instance will show, so I can fully use the REPL.

Now I'll need to examine the backtrace carefully...

Thanks again,

Paul
