`C-c C-b', i.e. slime-interrupt, interrupts the Lisp process.  In the
REPL buffer it's also bound to C-c C-c.  This should then pop up the
sldb buffer.

For CLISP, Emacs sends a SIGINT signal to the process.  I don't know
whether sending SIGINT actually works on Windows, though.
Interrupting a multithreaded Lisp works a bit differently: we send a
:interrupt message to our "control thread" and the control thread
interrupts the "worker" thread.
