If you cannot reproduce this, then I guess we cannot do anything about it.

The workaround is only in ncc.exe, therefore it is possible that
test.n wouldn't have enough stack, especially on large example (with
long functions) like the matching one. The MS.NET has ridiculously
small limits (like one megabyte). If it doesn't happen anymore, you
shouldn't be worried.
