Ick, no I don't get that at all :)  I run SBCL 0.9.10.37 and Slime2.0.
 Could you revert to the 2.0 version of Slime and see if the issue
still occurs?  Oh - what does
(swank-backend::preferred-communication-style) return if you run that
in CLISP?  It needs to be :FD-HANDLER, which I think you can change in
swank-clisp.lisp.
