Chris,

Now that you mention it, I have the vague memory of there being some limit to the depth of the stack. Which can keep you out of trouble, but also prevents you from doing interesting recursive stuff. I shouldn't be too hard to hack up a limit to stack depth, but I'm not sure how much of a blessing that would be.

Cheers,
Bob
