Thanks for the report.  I'm guessing that this means that address
space used for the heap overlaps some other important system space.

Can you send the output of cat /proc/<pid>/maps for the lisp process
with a heap size of 1500?  That should give a hint at what's going on.
CMUCL expects that the heap can use all of the memory from 0x58100000
to 0xbe000000.  This seems to be true on my Fedora system.

What 32-bit linux system are you running on?
