The stack is consumed by read_item_loop in prog_io.m. It should be
possible to use the standard two-level loop technique to free stack
frames periodically, say every 1000th item. However, since it is
not urgent, I would prefer that this not be done, since in my work
on the item list, I have replaced this code already, so any other
change to it would cause conflicts.
