Would it be possible to show how you're calling the function from Lisp
(including the UFFI binding)?

Also, it'd be useful to have the C source code which fails and the
assembly of the resulting code.  Using (setf c::*delete-files* nil) and
then compiling the file should leave the C file around for inspection.
It's also possible to obtain the resulting assembly using objdump -drw
<file>.fas (from binutils).
