Not that I know of.

One option is to drop into ldb and try to print out some things.  Do 
this by entering (lisp::%halt).  You'll get the ldb prompt.  "help" will 
provide some simple help.

If the program is not really huge, you could provide the source for it 
somewhere.  Alternatively, since it works in 19c but not 2007-03, you 
can try some of the other snapshots to help narrow down where it 
changed.  Perhaps the issue is caused by gencgc.  I can't remember when 
gencgc was added to ppc and the cvs logs aren't exactly clear about that 
either.
