does slime's thread selector not work here? M-x slime-list-threads and
then hit d on the specific thread should through pop up an sldb buffer
(there will be 10 or 15 spurious extra frames at the top of the stack
before the 'real' error).

otherwise i would look into these functions (as opposed to changing
the definiton of :y): (swank:revert-global-io-redirection) this will
undo slime's connection modificiations and
(swank:globally-redirect-io-to-connection (swank:default-connection))
will redo it.
