The inspectability of the JVM call stack is certainly better than Clojure even from just reading the function names.  

Using a [customized version of SLIME][1] allows the use the [ABCL-INTROSPECT][2], which is probably the most advanced way of debugging ABCL.

As for your suspecting that your application is spawning more threads than you would expect, from your code snippet I can’t really offer much other than to wonder what the definition on the DISCONNECT involves.  Again providing an example of code, even a stripped down toy application that demonstrates the problem would be enoromously more useful for me to help out.
