This are two bugs: - cmucl assumes that the address space on i386 extends up to 0xc0000000, this is not longer true with newer kernel. So cmucl is buggy to hardcode adresses which are not always usable.

Well, not all the world is C and the address-space available to applications for me (and for cmucl/sbcl and friends) are an implicit part of the API. So there is no way to 'fix' this feature, unless upstream decides to radically redesign the implementation.
