[Axiom-developer] i can't understand this error

I just tried your example:

and it doesn't fail here. There is a join function used in Axiom which
has the potential to exceed the lisp limit for argument lists if the
join function is compiled. However, it works fine interpreted. As a 
result the join function is never compiled in Axiom. It looks like you
managed to compile that function somehow.
