Steel Bank Common Lisp

I didn't get a response to this, but I found a solution that seems to work.

Add:

(setf swank:*communication-style* :fd-handler)

to your  ~/.swank.lisp  file   (or create this file and add it in if you
don't have one...)

I'm seeing further problems:

I've confirmed that swank:*communication-style* is
bound to :fd-handler.  However, using Aquamacs:

GNU Emacs 23.3.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.8.0, NS apple-appkit-949.54)
 of 2011-08-04 on braeburn.aquamacs.org - Aquamacs Distribution 2.3a
Copyright (C) 2011 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

and slime version from end of August 2011 (apparently the latest).

When I run my CLIM-based app, it runs, but as soon as I try to do anything, it
fails into the debugger, and I must use a call from the main repl to kill the
thread/process - X11 ignores calls to close the window, for example.

It'd be convenient to run a CLIM app in a separate thread, but I can live
without it.  I do want to some thread-based programming, and I hope this isn't
indicative I've what I'm going to run into.

Thanks.
