I'm not sure if it is intentional or not.

However, I'm relatively certain that SB-IMPL::*ACTIVE-PROCESSES*
should really be in SB-EXT so that you could clean it up yourself.

I also note that we're missing a simple clean way to terminate a child
process -- now you need to specify a signal _number_ and follow up
with PROCESS-CLOSE. Eugh.
