This may or may not be an issue.

I know nothing about GSL besides what I just read about the function you
call above, but don't you need to allocate space for 3 doubles, not just
one, for the retn (result_array) argument?
Function: int gsl_sf_bessel_Jn_array (int nmin, int nmax, double x, double
result_array[])
This routine computes the values of the regular cylindrical
Bessel functions J_n(x) for n from nmin to nmax inclusive,
storing the results in the array result_array. The values are
computed using recurrence relations for efficiency, and
therefore may differ slightly from the exact values.

If the above didn't help, try to rewrite the crashing behavior using
SB-ALIEN: http://www.sbcl.org/manual/Foreign-Function-Interface.html
If you still get the crash, it may be an issue with misinterpretation,
or SB-ALIEN. Otherwise, it may be a problem with how CFFI uses
SB-ALIEN.
