The only difference I could spot between the C and Lisp programs is
that version should be an :int, not a :pointer. (But that doesn't
matter on 32-bit linux since they're the same size there.) In any
case, it seems to work for me on Linux/amd64.

Have you tried running the program in other Lisps? CLISP and/or CMUCL,
for instance.
