[Haskell-cafe] Why the stack overflow?

[staafmeister]

Hi haskell-cafe,

Why does rlist 100000 [] gives stack overflow in ghci?

rlist 0 l = return l
rlist n l = do {x <- randomRIO (1,maxBound::Int); let nl = x:l in nl `seq`
rlist (n-1) nl}

I first uses replicateM then foldM and finally an explicit function. But
they give all stack overflow
I don't know why 100000 is not absurd and it is tail recursive. Or is it
not, due to the monad structure?

greetings
Gerben
