lisp-config.lisp is part of the common-lisp-controller package.  Mine
looks like this:

        (in-package :common-lisp-user)
        ;;; Please don't change this file. Automaticly generated by 
common-lisp-controller package.
        ;;; Run dpkg-reconfigure common-lisp-controller as root to change the settings
        
        #+(or cmu scl)
        (setf system:*short-site-name* "Unknown"
              system:*long-site-name* "Site name not initialized")
        #+sbcl
        (setf sb-sys:*short-site-name* "Unknown"
              sb-sys:*long-site-name* "Site name not initialized")

(heh, I should probably set my site-name's at some point :)

I'm guessing that yours has "sloth" without quotes around it.  You
should probably file a bug, but in the mean time, just add the quotes.

HTH,
