[Maxima] stack size

[Thomas Widlar]

A friend of mine asked this question.

 If I remember right, the stack size is fixed and determined by the Lisp 
subsystem. I have the problem that I cannot compute some complicated 
metrics because Maxima hangs and eats up 99% of CPU time. Probably the 
stack size is exhausted. Is a way to increase the stack? Maybe by 
recompilation with a higher stack size?

His setup is

<>  Maxima 5.16.3, Windows distribution
  running on Windows XP, SP 3
  CPU: Pentium 4, 2.66 GHz  
  Memory: 1 GB
