I know there are a number of cases where the backends are badly coded,
and will quickly run out the guile stack using inefficiently recursive
algorithms.

The fact one has to set the guile stack with
(eval-options (list 'stack 200000)) is a very sure sign that the backend
is falling over in a _really_ bad way.
