Thanks for this hint. I also read in the TeXBook on page 301 about
save_size. Save stack overflow may occur if there is mixed local and
global assignment to the same variable within a group.

I checked the log file for lines beginning with
{retaining ...
and the associated variable whose value was put on the stack.

However, all of the variables found this way are defined and assigned to
a value in a global fashion, using

\expandafter\xdef\csname <var name>\endcsname{<some value or macro to be expanded>}

There is no local assignment at all, because of the \xdef.

No idea what else to do :(
