961 times here, then the error.  ;-)

Seems to me that there had been talk of this kind of thing before; that is,
repeated macro calls of a function. Not too sure. I don't know why it would
be limited, if so. I'm just thinking #undef could be the only solution then,
as per my unclear memory on the subject. Checking that, with #undef Dummy
added to the end of the loop, lets it continue without a problem.
