Is this some new code ? I did tested it on CLUCL-19d compiled for
RELENG_6. Also, the sigbus_handler() from lisp/FreeBSD-os.c rev 1.12
does not contain the check, it seems (that describes why it worked for
me).

I will put the patch into the tree ASAP, subject to coordination with
re@ and portmgr@.

Could you, please, describe what was tested in more details ? Did
you run the CMUCL (and sbcl) with the patch ? If yes, could you, please,
show the file(1) output on the bin/lisp and bin/sbcl binary ?
