I ran into the same problem as you did, and then followed the 
instructions from the error.  I modified the compiler source and 
increased the number of maximum iterations from 3_000_000 to 
1_000_000_000, rebuilt and installed it, but still ran into the 
exact same problem.  There may be something up with the algorithm 
itself.
