Using the latest version of slime (2004-04-02), and SBCL 0.8.9.6, I get problems with repl variables. To whit:
; SLIME 2004-04-02 CL-USER> (find-package "CL") #<PACKAGE "COMMON-LISP"> CL-USER> * T CL-USER> + (LOAD "/opt/cvs-trees/slime/swank-loader") CL-USER>
I'm not sure where to start looking for problems here, since adding FORMAT statements in LISTENER-EVAL seems to set *, **, and their brethren correctly. Evaluating the same forms in a command-line SBCL give's me the expected results:
(find-package "CL")
#<PACKAGE "COMMON-LISP">
#<PACKAGE "COMMON-LISP">
*

I don't get this problem with SBCL 0.8.5.50. I'll pull a new version and try it there.

Oh, I bet its a threads thing, with the REPL evaluating with a new thread each time and getting new values for the variables. (For some reason I don't have threads in my current SBCL build.)
I'm already planning to look at using a dedicated/persistent thread for the REPL, so if that's the problem it should be fixed that way.
Or maybe its something else. Plenty of time to speculate while SBCL compiles. :-)
