- Stack overflow means the program used more stack space than was
- available. A portion of the stack is used each time you enter a
- function, it is where the automatic locals go. It is releaased
- when you return.
-
- You may simply need to recompile or relink and specify a larger
- stack, or you may have a bug causing a function to call itself
- eternally.
