I had slime working with sbcl 0.8.16.
I downloaded sbcl 0.8.19 and when I try to start slime I get this in my *Message* buffer
Polling "/tmp/slime.18807".. (Abort with `M-x slime-abort-connection'.) [2 times] Connecting to Swank on port 51816.. Initial handshake... Connected. Let the hacking commence! error in process filter: slime-process-available-input: Wrong type argument: listp, § error in process filter: Wrong type argument: listp, §
I am using emacs 21.3.1 on Fedora core 3.
Any help would be appreciated. My solution for now is to go back to sbcl 0.8.16
thanks, Todd.

You should upgrade to CVS SLIME.
In recent versions of SBCL, the external coding depends on the phase of the moon (or a bunch of random environment variables). That's a little to unpredictable for SLIME-1.0.
CVS SLIME should work with newer SBCLs (but may no longer work with older SBCLs).

With the head of CVS (checked out 30-Jan-2005) I get:

There are probably old fasl files around. Deleting ~/.swank/fasl/ should help.
Helmut.
Thanks, that appeared to fix it.
The directory was I needed to delete was ~/.slime/fasl/sbcl-0.8.19
