[taos-glug] more on factorial idle curiosity

Quite by accident, I came across a Google reference exchange of emails about
the "stack overflow" I message got with (fact 361).

It's at http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guile/2002-07/msg00023.html
under the title "Re: guile-tutorial does not know bounded stack size"

There's some discussion (about bugs vs. features) that I don't understand
very well.  But basically, it says to execute

     (debug-options 'full)

In my case, that yields "stack 20000".

Then it says to execute

     (debug-set! stack 200000)

After doing so, (fact 361) doesn't return an error, nor does (fact 500)
nor (fact 1000).
