| I've obviously coded a bug into TileMax thats causing a Stack Overflow. but thats the only error I get. No debug information what-so-ever. The compiler is in debug mode as well. What conditions will cause a Stack Overflow... I would assume thats an unhandled exception? |

| Inifinite recursion? |

| If you run it on Mac, you'd get a pretty crash log/backtrace from the OS. If you run it on Windows, you can use GDB to debug. It might give you a hint to the location of the problem. (it might not). |

| Oh thank mother of god for backups... fwew. All I did was a convert two methods to functions in the main encapsulation type so that it wouldn't need to be instantiated... but then I had also progressed some other areas of code that I didn't want to undo. Why changing the methods to functions caused this error I don't know... yet. But since there is no reference to self or fields within those methods so I thought it would be safe. Thanks for the suggestions Brucey... appreciated it. |

| Method calls should require slightly *more* stack space to pass the Self reference. If that was the change that triggered an overflow, there is probably something else wrong too. |
| ||
| This must have been an anomalous error. I've re-converted the methods one by one and have restored all the code I created after the fact and no Stack Overflow.. eh.. |

| I encountered a stack overflow weeks ago, it seems impossible to find where the bug is, so I had to make a hack into debugger code to dump the calling route. That was a nightmare. :( |
