  The problem is that other scenes cause a crash if they reach that
max_trace_level. The amount of stack space needed for each recursion
varies from scene to scene.
  I think that even the current limit of 256 causes a stack overflow crash
if proper conditions are met. This happens with very few scenes, though.
