Thank you for the patch, but still I get a new kind of error from sbcl which brings me in the same situation.

This patch affects only code used by :sigio and :fd-handler communication styles, not code used in the :spawn style. If you'd like to try the patch, please pass `:style :fd-handler' to create-server, which is the default on SBCL when threads are not available, or set *communication-style* to :fd-handler before creating a server.

Again, I can connect but on M-x slime-disconnect in emacs this happens now

4005

debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread #<THREAD "auto-flush-thread" {9987D91}>: #<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "a constant string" {985D5F1}> is closed.

I am not experienced with SBCL, but the :spawn-style-related code seems to close the connections correctly. I am not sure how the "auto-flush-thread" is operating, but would be slow to blame it before something in the :spawn code.
