Subject: Stack overflow is (too) fatal to lisp.

Lisp Version: 19-Jun-84 14':48':49

Description: When stack overflows happen, the results are usually fatal.  (This is even the case for the interpreter, which should be better at handling the stack overflow case than compiled code).

Workaround: 

Test Case: (FILESLOAD (FROM {eris}<lichtenberg.wbst)  POS.LSP DISP.LSP DICT.VAR FSM.LSP), then (DispGen), then bug "GENERATIONS"
