[developers] "nested unification context"

[Ned Letcher]

I've been able to reliably reproduce this -- at least on my machine. This
error seems to occur following a parse that was aborted due to running out
of edges. ie:

"Probable runaway rule: parse/generate aborted (see documentation for
*maximum-number-of-edges*)"

Once this has occurred it seems that anything that then involves
unification results in the nested unification error, such as parsing, or
loading a grammar.

I've attached a grammar that will give the max edges error if you try to
parse "der man leyen-t dos bukh". Then you can reload the grammar or try to
parse the string again to get the nested unification error.
