I wonder if you are being bitten by a memory randomization issue in 
fc4, see below (there seems to be lots of postings about problems in 
0.9.3)

Are you compiling with gcc 4? There are some problems with threading
and gcc4 (possibly solved in HEAD). Using gcc 3 instead might help.

The FC4 kernel has some patches for memory map randomization, which
(unlike the earlier versions) is automatically turned on for all
applications. For full details see the "Memory randomization problems
coming" thread on sbcl-devel. For now, either of the following solutions
should work:

  Disable randomization globally "echo 0 > 
/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space"
  Start sbcl with "setarch i386 -R sbcl"
