Stack Overflow...

Here is an error message from POSE:

"PalmEngine (1.0) has overflowed the stack.  The functions currently using
the stack are: PalmEnginePalmMain(7058), PilotMain(16), <Unknown @
0x00052764>(106)."

Now, all I am doing is walking through my code from PilotMain() then
stepping into PalmEnginePalmMain().

Any ideas why this is happening?  I am not calling any other functions
inbetween.  It is just those two functions.  I suspect that this might have
something to do with the segmenting issue; however, being that the two
functions are in the same file, I do not understand why it would have a
problem making a jump to the function in question.

I am definitely not an expert in the world of segmenting on the PalmOS.  In
fact, this is my first project that has some sizeable numbers:

57K Code
234K Data

I gather that the code number is the one that has to be under 32K.  Is there
a way to make that stretch?  If not, what are some methods I can try with
separating my code into segments?

Although, another part of me says it isn't a segmenting issue since the
execution isn't even getting out of one file.  I also removed the body of
PalmEnginePalmMain() and it ran fine.  Well, it didn't do anything, but at
least it got through the functions.  I have included the two functions below
my signature to be more clear.

Any help is always appreciated.
