 From the PostScript Landuage reference Manual:
"The form’s definition does not refer to
  variable information in virtual memory, and
  its execution has no side effects in VM."

I have never used a form, but your use of the
variable /FormNum seems to break this rule.
Test this by dumping /FormNum.
