This is my recursive test function, which calculates the sum of 1 to x:
%-------------------------------------
function y=S(x)
  if x==0, y=0; else y=x+S(x-1); endif
endfunction
%-------------------------------------

The default value of max_recursion_depth is 256:
>> max_recursion_depth
ans = 256

>> S(253)
ans = 32131

>> S(254)
error: max_recursion_depth exceeded
error: called from
    S
    S at line 6 column 6

Increasing max_recursion_depth doesn't help:

>> max_recursion_depth=512
max_recursion_depth = 512

>> S(254)
error: max_recursion_depth exceeded
error: called from
    S
    S at line 6 column 6
