That's the original 1.3 release binary, which is about 6 months old.   
It's probably worthwhile to update your lisp;  there's no guarantee  
that this will solve your problem, but it's one less thing to worry  
about.

Try running "svn up" inside your ccl directory, and then start up ccl  
and evaluate (rebuild-ccl :full t).

Since you're on 10.6, please ensure that you have the optional Xcode  
10.4 support installed.  (You might need to re-run the Xcode installer  
to do this.)

As an alternative, you could try using the CCL 1.4 pre-release.  See http://trac.clozure.com/openmcl/wiki/ReleaseNotes/1.4 
  for instructions on how to install that.
