This particular one is a bug in the splitter. I think what's happening is 
that even though we've split down to the smallest area possible, there's 
still more than 150,000 nodes in that area so the splitter recurses infinitely 
and blows the stack. I *thought* I'd added a check for that but I guess not... 
I'll take a look. About the best I'd be able to do in that situation is to 
print an error and still create an area that contains more than --max-nodes.
