Not true.  Did you try it?  The limit is 2048 for procedure calls as
long as apply-hack (manyargs) is active, due entirely to temporary
stack size, and 126 for procedure calls otherwise, due to C language
limitation.  apply-hack is almost always active unless you're on a
weird platform.

Example:

$ csi -R srfi-1
Version 4.1.1 - SVN rev. 15417
macosx-unix-gnu-x86 [ manyargs dload ptables applyhook ]
#;1> ##sys#apply-argument-limit
2048
#;2> (list-ref (apply list (iota 2048)) 2047)
2047
