It means you have stale fasls. These are (roughly) the compiled form of
your lisp files. When SBCL goes between major versions, it can change
the FASL format, in which case the old ones become invalid.

You need to delete the old ones:

find ~/ -name '*.fasl' -exec rm '{}' ';'

That should do it for you.
