Compile with file load is a bit busted if the compile/load generates a
lot of output, for example defining a function and then disassembling
it.  I suspect that the output routines to vim buffers are too slow,
something is getting backed up and failing - or it could be the vim
script that scrolls the buffer down.
Either way, if you don't redirect io (swank::*redirect-io*) then the
compile/load works.  And if you just load it works.  This is my
current bug, any thoughts on it would be great.
