Probably yes. The lisp code is generated by the SPAD compiler, so the function
bodies may become quite large. I'm going to isolate the functions which trigger
the error.

That's a good hint. Indeed, I haven't checked the encoding w.r.t abcl yet
(SBCL/ECL are supported for a long time, so I guess encoding is specially
handled somewhere in the support files).

BTW I'm not expecting that someone will look at the code, I just wanted to know
whether the causes of these messages are commonly known - except to me ;-)

Thank you!
