I've got a fresh install of Corman Lisp 2.51 on Windows XP SP2, and a fresh install of SLIME CVS. I followed the instruction on http://www.grumblesmurf.org/lisp/corman-patches to create a patched image, but it seems something may have changed in the SLIME CVS (again) because trying to load swank-loader.lisp breaks.

Back in October 2005, there was a change in swank.lisp which required an updated patch to Corman Lisp (in misc-ansi.lisp I believe, posted on grumblesmurf.org) to get it to work again. Has something else now broken it once more? Here's the error I get (which probably doesn't help much):
