It turned out to be an instance of this
<https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler/issues/1521>. I have a list of
time-zones that I use for a drop-down list, which was big enough to cause
the stack overflow. As the issue-poster mentioned, I was able to fix it by
splitting my list into multiple pieces and List.concat'ing them together.
Thanks for the suggestions everyone!
