This has been fixed in cvs. A number of people (including myself) had
encountered this issue with clisp/emacs but you are the first person who
has reported it using cmucl. You can either download the cvs version of
ilisp or make the following change to ilisp-snd.el in ilisp v5.12:

Change line 611 from:

(sit-for 0)  ; 19990912 Pretty useless.

To:

(sit-for 0 1 t)

And run make again.

Hope that helps.
