It looks like the abort event is for some reason not being sent when using sbcl. I get the same result with #-win32 before wait-for-input and without.

Does READ-CHAR-NO-HANG work properly on socket streams? There is a comment in HANDLE-LISTEN (in win32.lisp)

;; FIXME-SOCKETS: Try again here with WSAEventSelect in case ;; HANDLE is a socket.

which makes it sound like that isn't implemented yet.

I suspect that WAIT-FOR-EVENT/EVENT-LOOP (in swank.lisp) blocks even though the timeout argument is t. To see if that's actually the case, you could generate some debug output in WAIT-FOR-EVENT/EVENT-LOOP. It's the easiest if you use LOG-EVENT for that.
