I'm not doing any funny things with load-string. The largest literal at this time is
[2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79 83 89 97 101 103 107 109 113 127 131 137 139 149 151 157 163 167 173 179 181 191 193 197 199 211 223 227 229 233 239 241 251 257 263 269 271 277 281 283 293 307 311 313 317 331 337 347 349 353 359 367 373 379 383 389 397 401 409 419 421 431 433 439 443 449 457 461 463 467 479 487 491 499 503 509 521 523 541 547 557 563 569 571 577 587 593 599 601 607 613 617 619 631 641 643 647 653 659 661 673 677 683 691 701 709 719 727 733 739 743 751 757 761 769 773 787 797 809 811 821 823 827 829 839 853 857 859 863 877 881 883 887 907 911 919 929 937 941 947 953 967 971 977 983 991 997] and has been in there a while without causing problems. The function definition in my original post is the ONLY change between working and not-working. With the first version, the file loads consistently. With the second version, it fails consistently. The error is definitely in that function and not elsewhere, or else it is in the implementation of load-file, the compiler, or even Java or the JVM. The JVM is 1.6.0_something, I forget what. It's pretty current. The literal generated in the post you linked to took a list of four items and doubled it up 13 times, for a grand total of 2^15 = 32768 items. There's nothing that large in that function, nor anything in the second version of it that would expand (say, via a macro) into something that large from a number being changed. This is frankly quite baffling. The changes to the function are innocent from a large-literal or pretty much any other perspective. On 7/5/09, Stephen C.
