You can up the limit by doing

  max_recursion_depth = N;

(or "max_recursion_depth (N)" with the current CVS sources).

The default value is 256, though there is nothing magic about that
number. It just seemed large enough given that recursion in Octave is
known to be slow.

Does the required recursion depth depend on the depth of the XML tree
or the number of elements in some list?  Is it possible to replace the
recursion with an explicit iteration?
