Qemm + Stacker = Reboot?

I've been using Stacker quite happily for some time now, but have
recently had a problem using it and Qemm together.  When I install
Qemm (v. 6.02), it runs through it's optimization phase without problems.
Things go downhill from there.  Whenever I boot my system, I see the
driver message for Qemm, then it reboots itself endlessly.  The driver
for stacker is the first thing in my config.sys after loading Qemm.
I was told that Qemm might be trying to allocate some memory that Stacker
needs to have set aside for it and that this could cause a reboot?  Not
sure how reliable this is, so I thought I'd post this to the net.  
The reason that I'm using Qemm is to try to load the Stacker driver 
high and get it out of the way. (Emm386 will not load it high, apparently
it can't find room for the 40+K tsr.).  I'm running Stacker V. 1.x on
a 486/33 w/ 4 megs of ram.  Thanks for whatever help you can give.
