Now fixed in 'master'.

Thanks for testing & reporting !

    K.B.

P.S. Rather than using allocatemem (which sets 'parisize' and allocates
a huge chunk of memory), you should rather set 'parisizemax' to a large
value [ which lets the stack grow as needed, up to the specified value,
but does not otherwise hoard memory ].
