Hmm. I wonder if it's stack depth, or just memory usage. If it's
stack depth, we can avoid that by simply rewriting the algorithm to
not be recursive (using an explicit stack rather than the C call
stack, etc), the problem is if we're just running out of memory
because each level of recursion uses an APR pool the fix is far less
straitforward...

FWIW, I suspect it's not an easy fix. If you'd run out of C stack
you'd probably have crashed, as opposed to just slowing to a crawl...
