It turns out that Corman Lisp has real difficulties dealing with compilation. Sometimes the compilation fails, other times the loading of compiled files falls over.
My proposed fix: Add the following to swank-loader.lisp just before the call to compile-files-if-needed-serially:
#+cormanlisp (defun compile-files-if-needed-serially (files) "Corman Lisp has trouble with compiled files, so load them from source instead." (dolist (file files) (load file :verbose t)))
Thus loading swank from source. This works just fine (and is just as fast, if not faster, than loading fasl files).
Is this accepted style, or should I do this some other way?
And if it is accepted style, should I #-cormanlisp the first definition of compile-files-if-needed-serially?

Hmm, another "industrial strength" Lisp implementation.

We aren't too picky in the loader. Just go ahead and change it.

That doesn't matter.

And the fun bit is that it used to work for me, but now that other people have reported problems it fails on my box as well.
