Thanks to John's hints I was now able to fix this. Here's the blurb from
the NEWS file:

There's a new --cstacksize option and corresponding 'cstacksize' command
which allows you to set the maximum C stack size to be used by the
internal eval() routine. This allows you to catch C stack overflows
which could occur during the evaluation of non-tail-recursive special
forms, as reported by Eddie Rucker. The 'cstacksize' value is given in
KB; the default is 256. If 'cstacksize' is set to zero then these checks
are disabled.
