One last thing: it's only the Slime REPL freezing sometimes, completely blocking both the android app and Emacs.
The REPL uses a dedicated thread. That issue might might be related to whatever issues the :SPAWN style had with less recent versions of ECL.
For the record, the :LOOP style implementation lives here: https://github.com/luismbo/slime/tree/simpler-communication-style. I'm inclined to not push it to master unless a more compelling motivation shows up. And if it does, I might instead try (again) to figure out how to make the NIL style handle a closed stdin more gracefully.
