Hello,
the variable max-lisp-eval-depth as documented can be enlarged significantly but the docs give no safe upper bounds, and
a warning that you can overflow the C stack. What is the safe upper limit for this variable ?
Can the documentation give a safe upper-limit ?
Cheers,
Mike Mattie

It depends on the stack limit and the architecture.
