Re: gEDA: gnetlist ERROR: Stack overflow

Happy New Year everybody,


	After a short relaxing vacation it is time to get back to 
work.  I sure hope 2k2 will be a better year for gEDA.  Having been
away from the net for 2 weeks, I have quite a few e-mails to answer,
so please bare with me.  Anyways, the matter at hand...

	Yeah, the error is happening in the guile or more specifically
the pads backend.  Backends like 'geda' or 'tango' seem to work fine,
while others like 'pads' and 'pcb' do not for such large (hierarchical)
schematics.  I will see if the problem is within the guile interp. or within
one of my gnetlist::* calls.  Thanks for the bug report.

(eek, briefly looking at the guile source code, "ERROR: Stack overflow" is
 inside 'eval', so somewhere within the pads backend, too much data is
 being passed to eval; a comparison between what the 'geda' backend and the
 'pads' backend is in order, as I haven't looked at these backends for quite
 some time now.)
