To change the default evaluator back to slime, add

(setq org-babel-lisp-eval-fn "slime-eval")

to your init file somewhere.

The patch only fixes the typo in the documentation; it does not change
the default evaluator back to slime. Although I would probably vote to
set the default value of the variable back to "slime", I'm not much of a
CL user. People with more informed opinions than me might want to weigh
in here.
