Hello,

I noticed that ecl-swank depends on ECL sb-bsd-sockets:socket-make-stream creating unbuffered streams by default (SBCL creates them fully buffered by default).

Although this was not yet accepted upstream, in my local ECL tree, socket streams are created buffered by default like for SBCL (since ECL socket code was designed to be SBCL compatible, this was an annoyance for me).

So I suggest the following change in case upstream ECL default behavior also eventually changes to be more SBCL-compatible. This would also prevent me from having to merge my minor local change when I update slime...

In buffered mode, with the current state of ECL swank code, emacs hangs when loading slime. This simple patch fixes this. It'd ideally be best to fix the ECL swank code to use a buffered mode for performance (and for cleaner syscall trace reports, which are now encumbered by single-character I/O), but that would be a more complex change.

Thanks,
