[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] HyperTalk Error Message

I keep getting a "Too Much Recursion" error message when I run through
a stack I've built.  Does anyone out there know anything about this
message?  This is the first time I've gotten it, and it halts the stack's
execution.

The easiest way to get this is to have a button send a mouseUp to
itself (while incrementing a field). It gets to 30 on my SE.

I've had a button "go next", the next card "on openCard" sending a
mouseUp to a button on it which did a "go next". That failed after 3
or 4 such cards. If you have to do this sort of trickm have ONE script
navigate the lot, or have the "on openCard" set a global that an "on
Idle" waits for.

Happy Scripting.
