Restriction on the number of state variables #151

Description

@iglikav

I am using dolo to simulate a DSGE model. However, I cannot load any model with more than 5 state variables using the yaml_import command. No error messages are displayed, just the loading continues until the kernel dies. If any of the transition equations is dropped then the model is loaded with no problem. Is there a restriction on the number of state variables?
Please find below a small example model.
Thank you very much!

name: min

symbols:

   exogenous: [Y]
   controls: [C]
   states: [K, G, X, B, Tr, CG]
   parameters: [beta, delta, nu, r_B, sig_z,
               rho_X, rho_B, rho_Tr, rho_CG, 
               CGoY, KoY, BoY, TroY, XoY,
               REV, I, r]

equations:
     
    arbitrage:
        - 1-beta*C/C(1)*(1-delta)          | 0 <= C <= inf
        
    transition:
        - K = (1-delta)*K(-1) + I + r*K(-1) - C(-1)
        - G = (1-nu)*G(-1) + X(-1) 
        - X = rho_X*X(-1)+(1-rho_X)*XoY*Y(-1)
        - B = (1+r_B)*B(-1) - REV + X(-1) + CG(-1) + Tr(-1)
        - Tr = rho_Tr*Tr(-1)+(1-rho_Tr)*TroY*Y(-1)
        - CG=rho_CG*CG(-1)+(1-rho_CG)*CGoY*Y(-1)
