Reset the built-in variable max_recursion_depth.

  octave:1> help max_recursion_depth
  max_recursion_depth is a built-in variable

   -- Built-in Variable: max_recursion_depth
       Limit the number of times a function may be called recursively.
       If the limit is exceeded, an error message is printed and control
       returns to the top level.

       The default value is 256.

BTW, recursion in Octave is relatively slow.  Are you sure you want to
define a heavily recursive function?
