This is not good. Would you be able to try your app with an older
version of cmucl? I'm just wondering if this ever worked.
Do you use FFI? Are you sure you haven't trashed the heap?
Previously, you said the size of the application seems to matter. How
big is the application?
If it truly dumps core, you might want to run it with gdb. At least
you might be able to figure out where it's dying and that might have
some hints on where to look.
