I am a bit puzzled. Is this very recent? Unfortunately the compiler farm was
off-line for most of the period I have been abroad and I could not verify
the progress of the updates I have been doing.

Regarding how to debug this, ECL has to be ran from inside GDB with a
breakpoint at the function that signals these errors, ecl_cs_overflow. When
the stack is overflown, ECL invokes a function (ecl_cs_overflow) which
simply jumps to some inner CATCH_ALL point (typically one set up in the
top-level). No debugger is started because it does not make sense -- it
could not run with the exhausted stack and we can not start a new stack
without confusing the garbage collector.
