I got this from an olc user.  You may contact him if you have further questions.

He tried to run kcl on BULLFINCH.mit.edu.  Bullfinch is an IBM RT/PC MODEL 115.
He tried running kcl both from the kcl directory, and from his own
directory.  In both cases, it exited immediately with a Bus Error.  (No
further error messages.)

Bullfinch is running 6.4R.

the user is "nbhemenw".  He'd be happy to hear from you if you have more
questions.  

According to the README file in the kcl directory, kcl should run fine on
both vax and rt platforms.  If there is no one available to maintain kcl
at the moment, could someone please ascertain that the bug is, in fact,
reproducible and update the README file to reflect that?
I tried running kcl on my pVax and had no trouble.

Thanks!
