Just a few minutes ago, CMUCL did this to me:
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
I made the dump world-accessible here:
<http://www.rawbw.com/~rem/NewPub/lisp.core>
in case anybody wants to look at it and try to figure out what happened.
Is this a bug in CMUCL, or a CPU fault unrelated to Lisp?

and with a valiant effort, Robert wins the world record for useful,
comprehensible bug reports made in appropriate places!
Congratulations, Robert!

Nope, bugs from a 10 year old piece of software are never useful.

One of these days, a cluon will strike Robert and he will stop using
18e.  In the meantime, killfile.

Is it reproducible?
Reproducibility comes in 4 flavors:
- same software causes same failure
- same software circumstances (memory occupation, impossibility to
write to a device...) causes same failure
- same hardware causes same failure
- same hardware circumstances (temperature, momentary electric high)
causes same failure
