Which Saxon release are you on? The stylesheet looks tail-recursive to me so
I can't see any obvious reason why it should blow the stack. I may have
missed something of course. If you're on the 8.9.0.4, send me the data and
I'll look into it.

Don't run in a debugging/tracing environment because that switches tail-call
optimization off.
