The stack, in Gambas, is a fixed memory pool where all function argument and 
context are stored. As function calls are imbricated, if you call functions 
too deeply, you can run out of this fixed memory pool, and got a "stack 
overflow" error.

In your case, I think that you indirectly raise a specific event from the 
handler of its event, and so lead to an infinite imbrication of function 
calls. You can check it in the stack backtrace in the IDE when you get 
the "stack overflow" error.
