Value stack overflow

[steve@culv.unisys.com (Steven Holtsberg)]

I ran a Lisp program compiled, and got a value stack overflow.

So, I set the variable si::*multiply-stacks* to 16, in my init.lsp file,
increasing the size of the value stack 16 times (I tried 2, 4, 8, and 12
earlier, without success).

This works whenever I run the program from within Lisp.

However, when I then save the program state to disk and execute it,
the value stack overflow re-occurs.

Why does this happen, and what can I do about it?
