Re: gEDA-user: Stack Overflow in gnetlist

["Matt Ettus" <boyscout@xxxxxxxxx>]

Many of the netlist backends are implemented with recursive functions,
so large schematics cause this.  The real solution is to rewrite them
as properly tail-recursive.  The interim solution is to adjust the
stack size to be much bigger:
