I have tried updating to the lastes slime from CVS and it will apparently not start, at least not as I am used to.
The symptom is that I see the inferior lisp buffer in which lisp is starting up, then I get the "Connected" message, but no REPL buffer appears.
This I have tested with both SBCL 1.0.39 and CCL (of some slightly older version), all on a fairly recent emacs 23. I have seen this both on Linux and OSX (though todays attempt was made only on OSX).
There is no change in behaviour if I rename my .emacs and .sbclrc and follow the startup description of SLIMEs README so it does not appear connected to my current configuration or how I usually set up slime.

Slime is ready if it's connected. The repl is a contrib and you need to load that yourself. Typically with (slime-setup '(slime-repl)) in your .emacs. That has been this way for years now.

True. I was reminded of that when I was continuing my experiements today. It is unclear why my usual setup changed behaviour, but I reorganized the relevant parts of my .emacs a bit and that helped. Now it works as is used to.
Sorry about the noise.
