HEAP-OVNI is a LeLisp error message that appears, typically, when one 
has gone out of the bounds of the allotted heap size.

It should not be related reading a particular kind of program but rather i would
think that it comes from the fact that you have many many programs (or perhaps
exceptionally large ones) in ctedits.  The reason it would be seen on "reading
a file" is that the ctedit's display structure uses vectors which take up a 
certain amount of place in the heap.  

It is probably very hard for you to pinpoint exactly what sequence of actions
leads to this problem.  If it happens often then you can rebuild the lisp cores
to have a larger heap size.  (i know not a very promising response!)
