    How come my LISP init file never gets closed during
    a LISP session?  Even doing a GC doesn't help ... I actually have
    to kill the job before it closes.
Due entirely to your useless line of code
  "(setq ^q nil)"
which causes the value of INFILE to be kept pointing at the init file,
rather than popping INSTACK at the EOF of the init.  When that line is 
removed, you win totally.  Try  :LISP SJOBRG;FOO
which is a copy of your init file with the offender removed.
