Now directories nested 1000 deep seems unusual.
That is true but the amount of recursion is not equal to the depth of the directories.
That rather depends on whether you are using pre-, end- or post-order processing within the recursion. Walking the entire breadth and depth of the directory tree before processing any data would be a bit unusual.
It is equal to the total amount of directories. And this number can easily surpass 1000.I did not see the actual walker which started this thread but I and others have posted recursive walkers "years" ago which used a depth-first search with pre- or end-order processing, and have not hit these limits. As Dar suggests, I doubt they would have any problem processing an entire OS X volume.
