Vlad,

You might enjoy this. I had a student in a FP 2.x class once that got very upset that the calling levels were limited to 32. He claimed he was a C programmer and that C had no such limits. So I asked him what happens when the FP limit is exceeded. He replied, "You get an error". I said, "Yes and then the app shuts down and the machine is ok. In C if you exceed the designed calling stack you get UNDEFINED behavior and may very well overwrite the BIOS or something else rendering the machine non-functional until you cold boot it."
