Bug Description

When I use the current CVS version of Slime I am not seeing results in the Slime REPL when trying to execute common lisp code. When I point my init.el file at the new version of Slime that I pulled from CVS on 7/17/2012 the lisp code that I am trying to execute (by pressing the enter key at the end of the line of code at the Slime REPL) becomes bolded and the cursor moves to the next line (vertically) but I do not see the result from the lisp command.

If I point my init.el file at my old 2011-05-27 version of Slime everything works fine. (ie when I press the enter key at the end of a line of lisp code at the Slime REPL the lisp code executes and I see the result printed in the Slime REPL and then I can enter a new lisp command. In general I am able to interact with my ECL install).

I have attached screenshots of the issue in the new Slime and everything working in the old Slime.
