I wondered today why doing C-u M-x slime wasn't prompting me to create a new inferior-lisp buffer. It turns out that a recentish change to generate-new-buffer-name in CVS emacs meant that rename-buffer wasn't actually renaming the inferior-lisp buffer.
This patch fixes things (we generate the buffer-name semi-manually).

* slime.el (slime-maybe-rearrange-inferior-lisp): Call `generate-new-buffer-name' manually, rather than relying on the UNIQUE argument to `rename-buffer' to do so.
