This bug has been there since before Euphoria 1.0.
Very few recursive algorithms count *up* at one level
of recursion and count *down* at another level of recursion
in the same for-loop. The fix is already in 2.2 for Linux and will
appear in 2.2 beta for WIN32+DOS32 within a few weeks.

When he changed the for-loop to a while-loop everything
worked fine.
