[Gambas-user] New Doc: EVENT LOOP question

[nando]

My question was really supposed to be something like:

If I write a SUB with a very long running process and I use WAIT inside it,
my Gambas program will eventually die from stack overflow?
Does the stack get fixed up (popped) when the very long running SUB
finishes...do all the WAIT calls get returned ??
