The SIGBUS handler in CMUCL compares the value of si_code to
BUS_PAGE_FAULT.  If these values do not compare equal, the signal is
not interpreted by the garbage collector.  For the record, your
original patch did not fill the si_code value with BUS_PAGE_FAULT and
so it was not enough.

I applied your patch to my 7.0-BETA3 sources and my test programs now
behave as expected.  Notably, the si_code value is always correct.
Thanks!
