Thanks, Bob. It works now up to a level of 100:
level=100 maxLevel=101
script ERROR: too many script levels
----line 3 command 3 of function rectest:
recTest ( level + 1 , maxLevel >> ) <<
It would be nice to add the recursion limit to the documentation, since
it seems to be stable.
In contrast, in Javascript in my Firefox 37.0 it doesn't seem to be
stable. According to this test page
(http://adamrich.name/recursion.html) it flips somewhere between 5000
and 17000. The test data is collected and summarized (apparantly as
average) on another page
("http://www.browserscope.org/user/tests/table/agt1YS1wcm9maWxlcnINCxIEVGVzdBi9qbEUDA?v=3&layout=simple";).
In Perl the recursion level was never a problem for me because the limit
seems to be only dependent on the amount of available memory. 10 million
levels are no problem on my system with the simple 'recTest' function
from the recent recursion thread, if 10 GB of memory are available. (The
process was killed from the system if less was available.)
After I learned about the rather low Javascript limit I rewrote my
recursive Jmol script function to a non-recursive one. Just to be on the
save side with JSmol. So the even lower Jmol limit cannot become a
problem for me any more.

Rolf
