Using the latest SLIME from CVS HEAD, I get this:
M-x slime
* ;; Swank started at port: 32880.
debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread 3084629696:
There is no applicable method for the generic function
#<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN (0)>
when called with arguments
(# :NAME "Swank").
Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.
restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.

#<unavailable argument>
#<unavailable argument>
#<STANDARD-GENERIC-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND:SPAWN (0)>

Any workaround?

I think it is still the case that SBCL and Slime work best together (read: at all) if you use versions of roughly the same age. SBCL 0.9.2 is very old (almost ten months). I am not surprised it won't work with the latest Slime. As both SBCL and Slime become more mature, you can expect this to be less of a problem.

Your best bet will be to get a recent SBCL. A distant second would be to get an old Slime out of CVS.

This was using SBCL 0.9.2 which is the latest package available for Ubuntu. One I went to the SBCL site and downloaded and installed 0.9.11, things worked much better.
