These tests try to find out the practical limits of the length of ''list'' in `(apply + `''list''`)`.  I used `make-list` to construct a list of one million zeros and invoked the above `apply`.  If it worked, I tested no further; if it crashed, I read the error messages and when necessary tested with shorter lists.

These tests were done on a 64-bit Linux system.

1000000 arguments works correctly:  Racket, Gauche, Bigloo, Kawa, SISC, SCM, Larceny, !IronScheme, NexJ, JScheme, !SigScheme, Scheme 9, KSi, Shoe, Rep, Schemik, !FemtoLisp, Dfsch, Inlab, Oaklisp, Sagittarius, Chibi

500000 arguments works correctly: Scheme48/scsh

100000 arguments works correctly: S7
