Greetings!

OK, so this problem is SuSE, not openbsd, right?

Magnus, if I recall, there was a memory fault detected in compiling
apply.lisp.  To go further, one needs to configure whatever gcl one is
using with --enable-debug, rebuild, and run the command compiling
apply.lisp in gdb.  Then report a backtrace with bt from the fault
location. I don't know at what stage this file is compiled.  If in
bootsys, I think a simple (compile-file...) should do.  If in
interpsys, )co APPLY is likely.  Try to replicate exactly what the
Makefile is doing.

Just a double check here -- gcl 2.6.2 and later (check the dates and
logs of cvs snapshots please) has automatic support for the
'randomized sbrk' 'security feature' of some distros' newer
kernels. If this is the issue, you should see 'randomized sbrk'
detected and reported in the configure stage.  This appears unlikely
in your case, but just checking.

Take care,
