I have a series of stacks that I distribute. A couple of people who use them have reported a "Too Much Recursion" message. I have been unable to duplicate it running the stacks on a variety of Macs. In other words, I can't track the message down to anything that's happening in my scripts. Are there known HyperCard bugs that might cause this problem? (In both cases, they are using 1.2.2 and my stacks were written using that version.) I'd like to hear any suggestions to help me solve this problem.

I'd like to hear any suggestions to >help me solve this problem. /l .li The users of your stacks may have openStack, openBackground, or openCard handlers in their Home Stacks which are intercepting system messages from your stacks. For example, if someone was using a handler which upon opening a new stack, went back to the last stack to record where they were coming from and subsequently sent a new openstack message which would spiral them into a 'Too Much Recursion' error message.
