I found the problem with the filter used by Palladium that was causing
the failure. The following context diff of Setup.sh solves the problem
(it is currenlty installed on hobbes, but not in source tree)

What was happening was that SKIPPAGES was never set and then in the
setup,   

/pdskip $SKIPPAGES def

caused a stack underflow with my file sent to palladium. By setting the
SKIPPAGES to 0, a proper value is inserted in the script.
