I'm having an issue with one of my programs that I suspect is being caused by a 
recursive loop... in simplified form... something like this:

Procedure Proc1;
Begin
   Proc2;
End;
Procedure Proc2;
Begin
   Proc1;
End;

I ended up getting a runtime error and the report showed something like above, 
where I had a loop of the same 3 procedures calling each other over and over in 
sequence in a loop before the actual error.   Unfortunately I didn't take down 
all the information because I thought I could make it happen again.. but I 
haven't had the runtime error again... however under certain conditions 
sequences that normally happen very fast become very slow and I suspect it 
somehow is getting into this recursive loop again.

It's a very large very complicated program and trying figure out where this is 
happening is becoming quite a challenge.   I was wondering if there is some 
method of detecting these recursive loops, either during compilation, or is 
there some option that would force a runtime error if a loop of procedures 
happened.

Any ideas how to identify potential unintentional loops?
