Hi!

I'm trying to compile an automatically generated list definition with
approximately 12,000 elements. The list has type (record_type *
record_type list) list where record_type is a simple record with 4
fields.

I'm doing this because I'm trying to achieve a poor man's version of
staged compilation.

Unfortunately, I get a Stack_overflow exception. If I roughly half the
number of elements in the list the Stack_overflow exception goes away.

Does anybody have an suggestions for me to get around the stack
overflow problem? What if I want to make my data an order of magnitude
larger?

Thanks!
