I've been confronted with the following oddness when accidentally a wrong 
entry (i.e. 1 instead of a symbol) is used:

(1) -> foo(L:List Symbol):OutputForm == first [outputForm(s)$OutputForm for 
s in L]

(2) -> foo [a,b,c,1]
   Compiling function foo with type List(Symbol) -> OutputForm
   Conversion failed in the compiled user function foo .

   Cannot convert the value from type List(Polynomial(Integer)) to List
      (Symbol) .

(4) -> foo [a,b,c,d,e,1]
   Conversion failed in the compiled user function foo .

   Cannot convert the value from type List(Polynomial(Integer)) to List
      (Symbol) .

(5) -> foo [a,b,c,d,e,f,1]
   Conversion failed in the compiled user function foo .

   Cannot convert the value from type List(Polynomial(Integer)) to List
      (Symbol) .

time needed grows exponentially with the length of the list !?
 foo [a,b,c,d,e,f,g,1] hangs already ...

This is an isolated example. The same occurs whether compiled or 
interpreted (as below).
What's going on?

foo.spad
)abbrev domain FOO foo
foo() : Exports == Implementation where   
  Exports == with    
    mkfoo : Integer -> %
    dsp: (%,List Symbol) -> OutputForm    
  Implementation == Integer add 
    Rep := Integer  
    mkfoo(x:Integer) == x@%  
    dsp(x:%,il:List Symbol):OutputForm ==
      l:List OutputForm := [outputForm(s)$OutputForm for s in il]
      first l

Example: dsp(5,[a,b,c,d,s,r]) 

foo.input:
dsp(x:Integer,il:List Symbol):OutputForm ==
  l:List OutputForm := [outputForm(s)$OutputForm for s in il]
  first l

Example: dsp(5,[a,b,c,d,5,5,t,s,r,s,s,s,s]) (killed after 1h)

Thanks
