This looks like a problem with consult.  Locally if I trim the bug.pl 
to 177 elements the consult can be rerun without memory leakage 
(178 is where it breaks for me).  

Also, I can construct rather larger lists using

const_l(X,[]):-X=0,!.
const_l(X,[[X]|L]):- X_1 is X-1, const_l(X_1,L).

Without memory leakage or failure.  

This is the sort of "bug" that might just constitute a system limitation, 
of some sort, and it would be nice to characterize the scope of it's 
effect.
