Do you think stack placement could have something to do with
running as a shared virtual server?

It is after running the job. If I omit the call to
allocate-contiguous-pages, then I get the following error
message:

    Contiguous blocks exhausted.

  Use ALLOCATE-CONTIGUOUS-PAGES to expand the space.

and Axiom aborts.
