I don't know if this is the cause of your problem, but recursion is
frequently the culprit here. Specifically, any recursive function should
be both 1) properly tail-recursive and 2) compiled with 
(declare (optimize (debug 2))) or lower so that the compiler will
replace the recursive call with a jump. Any recursive function that
does not meet both these criteria can potentially cause stack overflow
if it recurs too much.
