Nope, it won't.  Fifty sounds like too few.

Maybe SBCL could establish a real limit for the quantity of arguments a
function can have?  The program that I appended in my first message
errors with a TYPE-ERROR, which doesn't look like an appropriate
condition.  And what scared me was that sometimes in my real program the
function returned, without signaling a condition, but with a wrong
answer.
