CMLarrays

  I'm experiencing the following malfunction when I use CMLarrays on the 
1100's:
  when I run a function that I have written, in which Common Lisp arrays
are used intensively, after a while it happens that the machines gets 
stuck (i.e. the cursor doesn't move, even if I move the mouse; furthemore
the system error code 9305 is visualized, on the LED display if I'm 
using a 1109 or in place of the cursor on 1186s). Following the user
manual I switch to TELERAID (pressing the UNDO key) and break using
Ctrl-B. The break is always under functions which allocate space for
new CML arrays (either make-array, in which case I have an \ALLOCHUNK
broken, or copyall in which case I have a \COPYDATATYPE broken).
   This doesn't happen every time the mentioned functions are invoked,
but after a consistent computation, during which the same functions
have been invoked several times. After the error has occurred for the 
first time, it's not possible to create CML array (at least with
COPYALL or MAKE-ARRAY) without incurring in the same error situation
again, and sometimes the error occurs even if I simply inspect a COPYALL
entry in the BREAK window.
  I have tried different KOTO sysouts on both 1109s and 1186 with 
substantially the same results, so I suppose that it's not due to
a corrupted sysout.
  Has anybody alse experienced (and possibly solved) analogous problems?
Does anybody know a solution to them?

Thanks.
