Hi ckhan,

I have debugged a similar problem for an internal app once. The root cause 
was that they were mixing synchronous and async API calls. In particular, 
inside a tasklet they were making a synchronous call. The synchronous call 
is run by invoking the event loop recursively; what may happen in this case 
is that another tasklet is spawned that does the same thing, and so on, 
until you have many recursive event loop invocations stacked on top of each 
other.

The solution is to find the synchronous call(s) in your tasklet(s) and 
replace them with "yield <async call>". If this is indirect, e.g. your 
tasklet calls one of your own non-tasklet helper functions which makes the 
synchronous call, you will have to convert the helper into a tasklet too.

Good luck! It shouldn't be too hard to track this down.
