Secondly, the ?options help (thanks for everyone who reminded me about this), says that expressions can have values between 25...100000.
However, if the original example is set past 4995 on my computers, I receive a stack overflow.

At one point we were concerned about overflowing the C stack if options(expressions=) were set too high. I think this was in the days when MacOS had a very small stack, and that things are safer now.
