I ran into the same problem on Ubuntu 11.10 x86-64:

    The thread #[thread 13] signalled an error: ...

I checked out its continuation:

    (debug (thread/continuation address@hidden))

The error it was signaling came from the set-float-environment
primitive, which was not happy to be applied to a 16 byte vector-8b.
Apparently sizeof(fenv_t) was 16 when all.com was dumped.

Unfortunately sizeof(fenv_t) is 28 bytes here.
