Module initialisation code is the case I've run into, where many
"constant" objects (including symbols, functions, classes etc.) are
computed, initialised and placed into a dictionary/namespace. A compiler
from Scheme to .NET CLR I worked on a while ago frequently generated
module initialisation methods with more than 64k of *bytecode*, which
worked (a) slowly on one implementation (b) reasonably on another and
(c) not at all on a third, causing it to dump core.
(Another way of saying the same thing: The only three reasonable numbers
are zero, one and infinity.)
