I did not follow this thread and I do not know whether this has
already been pointed out to you, but you can force a garbage
collection using

M-: (garbage-collect)

If by any chance you then see `nil' in the echo area, we know what the
problem is (pure space overflow).  Actually, you can do `M-x garbage-collect'
to force garbage collection, but then you do not see the return value in
the echo area.

Sincerely,
