I think this means that you are trying to use qlist recursively,
and (have not checked it though) qlist_donext() is not reentrant.

Remember that in Pd there is no 'message queue' or 'message
dispacher' of any sort -- messages are being sent immediately,
ie. sending a message simply means calling a method (if target
exists).

Thus if processing one 'next' request involves sending another
'next' request then this second request is handled through
recursive invocation of the very same code that still has not
finished handling the first request (and probably has not yet
pulled out the final semicolon from current line -- just a guess).
