The hotshotreader module is creating an array of sys.getrecursionlimit() long integers to store the accumulated local times. It does the same to track the number of frames. Most likely your main program is setting sys.getrecursionlimit explicitly and as a result it winds up with a larger possible stack. You can try replacing the sys.getrecursionlimit() calls with some big number (say 40,000, or just multiply the recursion limit by 10 or 20 if you like) and see if that solves the problem. Probably should allow for setting the value on the command-line I guess. I suppose there may also be cases where a recursive call to the interpreter gets a whole separate stack... or maybe there's something going on with threads intermixing to create greater depth. Let me know if that helps, Mike -- ________________________________________________ Mike C.
