Thanks for the test case.  I can reproduce this on my system as well.

Based on the error message it seems as if external-program:start was
declared not to return actually returned.  That would seem to indicate
an error in external-program not cmucl.

But I'll look some more into this.

It would be great if you could file an issue if you have an account.
If not, don't  worry about it.
