I should add something to this query actually... I have this variable which is a pointer that is outside of the stack range that the error message mentioned. In fact, the address of this pointer variable (we can call it Y) is 0x00031640. Now, this variable points to a structure whose size is 1712B. When I access beyond a certain member in the structure, I get the error mentioned. Now, if Y weren't a pointer, I think I would have gotten a stack overflow error instead of what I got.
Regardless, what's the deal here? Why is the PalmOS sticking local pointers like Y in such an address space where certain dereferences will point inside of the stack space?
