Damir,

I have not really been using CMUCL the last couple of years.
I did, several years ago, and I did experience similar problems.
The key problem has to do with multithreading and stream IO,
the main code that is different or special for CMUCL is in S-SYSDEPS.
KPAX depends on S-SYSDEPS and S-HTTP-SERVER.
I am afraid that I can't help you in debugging the problems with CMUCL.
And if you are a beginning Lisp programmer, you won't find a solution  
yourself.
Maybe you could try the LispWorks Personal Edition ?

HTH,

Sven
