lang/sbcl consumes all available memory and dies

I noticed that after commit r189771 (ELF: .note.ABI-tag) sbcl
starts to eat all memory until it dies from bus error never reaching
REPL. The process is unkillable, too.

  $ sbcl
  This is SBCL 1.0.25, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
  More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

  SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty.
  It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under
  BSD-style licenses.  See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the
  distribution for more information.
  load: 0.06  cmd: sbcl 1926 [running] 0.01u 0.44s 3% 189432k
  load: 0.06  cmd: sbcl 1926 [tx->tx_quiesce_done_cv)] 0.01u 0.72s 5% 367124k
  load: 0.78  cmd: sbcl 1926 [running] 0.01u 2.91s 14% 1763028k
  load: 0.72  cmd: sbcl 1926 [tx->tx_quiesce_done_cv)] 0.01u 3.65s 14% 2237272k
  load: 0.74  cmd: sbcl 1926 [*vm page queue mutex] 0.01u 5.78s 9% 3482892k
  zsh: bus error (core dumped)  sbcl

This is amd64, r189876M, zfs, 4g mem, 4g swap, sbcl 1.0.17, sbcl-1.0.25,
1.0.26.3. I can reproduce it under qemu with clean environment as well.

Can somebody confirm it on i386? Just run `sbcl' and exit from REPL by
either `^D' or `(quit)'.

The workaround is to reverse-apply diff from r189771.
