I was trying to define some nice recursive types, but the test generator ended up using a lot of memory, until the system started swapping (and I assume it would've eventually gotten OOM killed).
Attempting to call 'genall' on a recursive type would either result in an OOM kill, because it'd recurse infinitely trying to generate testcases. When recursion depth is negative return the empty list instead of generating recursively and taking the first.
There are more things to fix here, because although the testcase I added here now works, the original type(s) that I created still OOM trying to generate stacks (but stack depth seems fine).
