Not sure if these changes caused my problems but it seems likely.
I only infrequently update my local copy of slime from CVS (usually when a new SBCL is installed) and yesterday was such a day. After that, slime wouldn't start up again failing with some unknown encoding format :ISO-LATIN-1-UNIX.
After some digging I came up with the patch below and things are working again. (Summary: find-external-format is being passed a symbol but seems to expect a string.)
