Um. Is this just me? $ src/runtime/sbcl --core output/sbcl.core [...] * (save-lisp-and-die "/tmp/sbcl.core") [...] $ src/runtime/sbcl --core /tmp/sbcl.core [ attempts to jump to 0x0 and execute from there; infinite SIGSEGV as viewed from strace ] The above happens to me on x86/Linux with at least 0.7.7.[12]x builds; I haven't yet investigated how far back this goes; it does _not_ happen to me on SPARC/SunOS. Any ideas?

I can add that saving/restarting works with 0.7.5 and fails with 0.7.6.3 (x86/Linux). -- Regards, Alexey Dejneka |

I've done a little more investigating (though sadly not enough to diagnose the problem). As Alexey says, saving/restarting works with 0.7.5; however, if you remember, I've already encountered these symptoms once, back when I was looking at the MAP/MERGE/CONCATENATE problem; there, the behaviour was this same symptom (jump to 0x0 from call_into_lisp), but this time in the core saved after building PCL. So, I tried applying the sequence patch to 0.7.5, and sure enough, the resulting core did not run. However, with 0.7.2 + sequence patch, no such symptoms have been observed; it builds, runs and saves and restarts without apparent trouble. Other reports say Alpha does not experience this problem; I can see two possibilities... 1. This bug (presuming that the current woes and my sequence patch woes are related) has always been present, but is tickled in only a small region of parameter space (for a particular number of pages in dynamic space, or an off-by-one error somewhere, or some such) 2. Something we've done, probably between 0.7.2 and 0.7.5, has upset an invariant somewhere which allows this behaviour to occur. The fact that this happens only on x86 is significant in that it points perhaps to gc or purify, which both have significant differences in behaviour on the x86 than on other platforms... Any bright ideas?
