Hallo Christian

Now I found an entry in the system.ini which can solve your problem.
(look in the startup-logs whether system.ini gets read)

- In SYSTEM.INI in section [386Enh] add this line:

MinSPs=4

Windows reserved some stack-sides for 32-driver and applications. One
stack-side has 4k size and with the number 4 you set 4 stack-sides, so
the application can order on demand more stack-sides. 
I donot test this, so use it on your own risk. This is what I found
windows can do, not the lisp.exe

There is another panel where you can change the dos-box-properties: 

- Click on the properties in the menue bar, this should open and show
the following "cards": Program - Font - Memory - Screen - Misc. 
Now choose Memory and edit as you wish or need. 

- You can always go to the Screen-card and change the in the Usage-field
(on the top) the "Initial size" (there is an arrow-click-box on the
right side) to 50 lines. This makes on my PC a scroll-bar (50 lines) to
the dos-box and 50 lines :) (very usefull, but when you find a way to
edit this so that I can see all lines, this will make me happy. I guess
I have to search the regedit.exe)

- On the misc-card you can choose Quick Edit in the mouse field. This
allows to copy contents out of the dos-box window. Also you can edit
some hot-keys there.
