This is merely speculation, but: is it a problem with the trap
handler?  I had similar symptoms on my Alpha where the instruction
CMUCL was using for internal errors didn't actually cause a trap on my
hardware/firmware/os version, so CMUCL would then go onto the next
instruction, which was actually the error trap's data byte (and
usually get a SIGILL, but this would depend on the bit patterns
involved)

I'm not sure how CMUCL does traps on SPARC, but if your hardware
swapping has included different versions of openfirmware etc, this may
be one possibility to check,
