It's not exactly the file size, but the line length. If I have a 64 lines
each
80 bytes long, the recursion stops at line 48, but with 32 lines each 160
bytes long, it stops with line 24. So the limit seems to be on the
length of the
variable $list2 which holds the accumulated lines for the sub-list.

I've already tried to split up the <ul> lists manually, but this is no
general
solution. It would be much better to do this automatically in the
stylesheet ...
