Thanks for the backtrace. It looks like the pointers into the
stack are very high (see t0 in frame #2) on this machine the stack-exhaustion
check assumes a "reserve" of 128k, which overflows the test.

Please try the following: change the definition of
C_STACK_RESERVE in chicken.h to 4096, instead of 128000
and re-make.
