Any ideas as to what the problem is? I can provide any other information needed.
Please download the latest version, enable debugging in Emacs with M-x toggle-debug-on-error and start Slime. I haven't fixed anything but the latest version should show a more complete backtrace.

The backtrace is below, but as soon as I saw it, I realized what the problem is.
I had a library loaded (for the curious, geben) that advises open-network-stream. The package seems to have been abandoned, and also causes problems with erc.
Removing it removed the problem starting slime.
I get a startup failure that I think is like yours, but it occurs randomly. About 1/12 times when I start slime for Lispworks. I don't have "geben" loaded or anything. I think there is a race condition somewhere.
