But I watched it bump into the recursion-limit wall.

From the Transcript Dictionary Entry:


By default, the recursionLimit property is set to 1000000.

I assume values, context, and most things are not on the stack but are pointed to by internal values on the stack. I could very well be wrong. I would be surprised if a stack entry was 100 bytes but I would think it would be under 1K. That means a depth limit of 1000 calls. This is all speculation. Testing is left for the curious.


Now directories nested 1000 deep seems unusual.

Perhaps this is running into a first-rest nesting as well. (I haven't looked at the latest of the script.) Even so, that does seem strange.
