I suspected that. However, i noticed that the mpost of MikTeX has a 
run-time parameter to change it, so i tried miktex to transform it. I didn't 
really need the parameter however, the defaults were big enough to run it.

Better yet, i'm a computer scientist ;) I could easily make the 
algorithm iterative, which would solve all my problems. But the drawing
i was making was an illustration of a recursive drawing algorithm in a course, 
and i wanted the implementation in metapost to follow the described
implementation.

On a final sidenote:
All my problems are solved for now, and the type of drawings i had to
make were probably a one-time event. However, since recursion is the
core of algorithms, especially in a single-assignment languages such as
metapost (metapost is single-assignment, right?), i would suspect that a
mathematical drawing language such as metapost would have good support
for this. 
But then again, this is only the first time i use metapost, and maybe no one 
writes these kind of drawings.

Thanks for the response !
