I also needed to apply this hack to slime:

--- swank-sbcl.lisp 19 Apr 2006 09:18:53 -0000 1.155 +++ swank-sbcl.lisp 12 Jun 2006 15:33:40 -0000 @@ -32,6 +32,8 @@ ;;; TCP Server

This is because linux_no_threads_p has been dropped in the last revisions of SBCL.

It would be nice to have this properly solved.

Ah, maybe I spoke too soon. Apparently, I need to set swank:*communication-style* to something other than :spawn. Is it known that :spawn doesn't work with sbcl? I somehow thought I'd been using :spawn with sbcl on my other (home) machine, but maybe I was confused.

:spwan should work fine, but you need to build you SBCL with threads enabled -- they are not built by default.
