As mentioned on IRC, the alternative is to allow memory overcommit via sysctl, or simply by echo 1 >/proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory This is no new behaviour of SBCL, and rather a implementation limitation than a bug. SBCL needs to reserve a fixed contiguous address space for its GC-managed memory. Linux 2.6 kernels reserve by default memory or backing store count for such mmapped-but-not-used address space reservations. (The last time I looked, a SBCL build used about ~50 MB of RAM.)
