While running some recursive, but fairly simple, functions on our
Explorer 4.1 we have repeatedly run into PDL overflow problems. We
have had to raise the PDL up to 20 times before we could successfully
run our functions.  We are planning to raise the PDL in order to avoid
having to rely on the machine doing so. Has anybody run into the same
kind of problems? Are there any risks involved in changing the PDL?
Are there limits (inherent or practically recommendable)?
