Thanks for your answer, Chet. I understand how and why that happens in C
programs. However, I wasn't expecting that from a higher-level,
interpreted language : I was (naively) expecting the interpreter to run
in bounded stack space. Sorry for the noise if that was the intended
behavior.
If you are worried about this, set the FUNCNEST shell variable to an >
appropriate value.
Nice, thanks :-)
