Chris, thank you! That looks like the explanation, which cheers me up immensely, since it should be easy to work round. I looked at the same memoize code and it never occured to me that that was what was going on. I just thought Clojure hated me.
A combination of fixing memoize and increasing the stack size should give me as much recursion as a man could reasonably need. John.
