I have just downloaded CMU Lisp. I have changed the paths CMUCLLIb to
point to the right place, made all the right things executable etc. When
I run CMU lisp however I get the following error,

	segv_handler: No mapping fault: 0x00978000
	segv_handler: Recursive no mapping fault (stack overflow?)

and the program then exits.

Interestingly if I run CMU lisp using the runtime.core (as opposed to
the standard lisp.core), via the command line option

	-l lib/runtime.core

CMU Lisp boots ok and gives me a prompt.

Does anyone know what the problem is here? Am I just running out of
memory? I am not a Lisp hacker, I just want to use it to run NESL. Any
help greatly appreciated ...

I should have course added that I am running CMU Lisp on a sparc running
Solaris. uname -a gives,

SunOS apocalypse 5.5 Generic_103093-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1

Aha.  An Ultra.  There is a known problem with CMUCL running on an
Ultra.  You need to get a new version.  Try http://www.cons.org or
http://cvs2.cons.org:8000/ftp-area/cmucl/binaries/ for a version that
works on an Ultra.
