Can anyone help to shed the light on mysterious bug in SBCL (found it!)

[Vasily Postnicov]

Thanks! I created a bug report, as it is clear now, that is  not SBCL fault.
https://bugs.dragonflybsd.org/issues/2663

I also found that any library, which mmap's some space at fixed range in
its constructor will fail the test. I attached such a library which mimics
the behaviour of libthread_xu.so
