Interesting.  I could definitely see a bill of materials for some
manufacturers exceeding 255 levels.  So why use recursion if the "old"
methods work every time and give up to 32,767 levels with memory allocation?

I can almost see a maintainability benefit since one would not have to deal
with memory allocation and arrays (or multi-occurrence data structures, but
I'm not certain that benefit is worth sacrificing the flexibility.

Perhaps more thought on my part will yield better answers.

Thanks all.

The only limitation is that procedures calls are limited in depth.  It was
255.  It could have been raised in the newer releases.

If you need a greater depth than whatever the recursion limit is, you would
need to fall back to the old methods.
