Overflowing the stack usually means that you have called
too many functions. Or sometimes it means you have got too
many automatic variables, or very big ones, like this:
Int32 myfunction (Int32 myarg)
{
Int32 bigoldarray[1000];
}
That would be a bad idea on Palm OS, because the array will
be allocated on the stack, using 4 kilobytes of an already
very limited amount of space. If you need an array inside a
function, it's probably best to allocate it from dynamic heap.
One very handy way to diagnose problems with stack is to
compile with debug symbols on. Then the Emulator will show
you a stack backtrace that has function names in it instead
of "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" stuff.
