This is a known problem.  Core files can be created from compiled
files because that's how the core file your using was created.

Why this happens is known.  Load up myapp.lisp and then myapp.x86
could make it work.  Moving the cmucl binary to a new location might
fix things.  It's all very strange.

Sorry,
