Ahh, that explains it.  But it would be interesting to know the reasoning 
behind that number.

I did a quick Google search, and it looks like this is exacerbated by some 
problems with the standard library that ships with 2.95.x, because it can 
use up to 14 levels just by itself.  I'm not sure this is why we're having 
problems with 2.95.x, but I'd rather not just arbitrarily add the option. 
A more interesting question is how we can figure out what the minimum is. 
Maybe if it fails, we just bump it up to 50, or so?
