Summary: apply '+ fails for large lists (e.g. 10,000 elements)

Initial Comment:
Something bad happens when using (apply '+ ...)  with large lists (in my case, a list of 10,000 elements).
e.g.:

[17]> (apply '+ (loop repeat 1000 collecting 1))
1000
[18]> (apply '+ (loop repeat 10000 collecting 1))

*** - APPLY: too many arguments given to +
The following restarts are available:
ABORT          :R1      ABORT
Break 1 [19]>


The same code using #'reduce instead of #'apply works as expected even for much larger list sizes.
