Since it was unclear to us why this program does not work,
we made some experiments. It seems that this is actually
an efficiency bug(?) of KiCS2 due to a complicated combination
of functional patterns, unification, and search space explosion.
If we try to separate these things, it works quite well,
but the combination of all seems to cause a combinatorial explosion
of the representation and traversal of the computation space.
For instance, if we fix the number of rule applications,
PAKCS (based on backtracking) computes the solutions much
faster than KiCS2.
Currently, we have no concrete idea of the reasons causing
this problem, but, indeed, it is an interesting example
to test many aspects of our implementation.
Best regards,
Michael
