I have no idea what happened, but when using any language and any 
graphical toolkit that fires a redraw event, I always make a global 
(or module-level) variable called something like CurrentlyRedrawing, 
check to see if it's nonzero at the beginning of the draw event code, 
exit if it is, set it if it's not, and unset it at the end of the 
draw event.  In Gambas, it's something like

PUBLIC CurrentlyRedrawing AS Integer

PUBLIC SUB DrawingArea1_Draw()
	IF CurrentlyRedrawing THEN RETURN
        CurrentlyRedrawing = 1

        ' redrawing routines here....

        CurrentlyRedrawing = 0
END

Hope that points you in the right direction.
