it's not environmental differences, but a peculiarity of slime's implementa=
tion.

one of them calls SWANK:INTERACTIVE-EVAL on the CL side, and the other call=
s SWANK:PPRINT-EVAL.

the latter configures the printer differently (i.e. enables *PRINT-CIRCLE*)=
. but notice that the two outputs are the same semantically. one of them ju=
st also annotates the cons cell identities.

in short: it's a peculiarity of the current slime implementation, but i wou=
ldn't call it a bug.
