PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:

       (i did this by purpose, but this situation could actually apprear
       in the real life):


       when nesting navbars recursivelly, eperl eats up all the memory 
       (as expected)

ePerl:Error: Perl runtime error (interpreter rc=1)

---- Contents of STDERR channel: ---------
Out of memory!
------------------------------------------

** WML:Break: Error in Pass 3 (rc=74).
** WMk:Break: Error in WML (rc=256)

       this is the .wml file:

=================================================
#use 'navbar.src'
#use wml::std::page

<page>

<navbar:define name=main txtonly>
	<navbar:header><ul></navbar:header>
	<navbar:footer></ul></navbar:footer>
	<navbar:prolog><li></navbar:prolog>
	<navbar:button id="item1" url="item1.html" txt="item1">
	<navbar:button id="item2" url="item2.html" txt="itme2" menu="menu1">
	<navbar:button id="item3" url="item3.html" txt="item3" menu="menu2">
	<navbar:button url="#PREV#" txt="[PREV]">
	<navbar:button url="#NEXT#" txt="[NEXT]">
</navbar:define>
<navbar:define name="menu1" txtonly>
	<navbar:header><ul></navbar:header>
	<navbar:footer></ul></navbar:footer>
	<navbar:prolog><li></navbar:prolog>
	<navbar:button id="subitem1" url="item2.html#subitem1" txt="subitem1">
	<navbar:button id="subitem2" url="item2.html#subitem2" txt="subitem2" menu="menu2">
</navbar:define>
<navbar:define name="menu2" txtonly>
	<navbar:header><ul></navbar:header>
	<navbar:footer></ul></navbar:footer>
	<navbar:prolog><li></navbar:prolog>
	<navbar:button id="subitem3" url="item3.html#subitem3" txt="subitem3">
	<navbar:button id="subitem4" url="item3.html#subitem4" txt="subitem4" menu="menu1">
</navbar:define>

<navbar:render name="main" select=subitem2>
=================================================

       menu1 calls menu2 which calls menu1 etc.

       i think some kind of checking should be incorporated to avoid recursion.
