Usually it means you are recursively calling a function (although not always), and it has pushed so many return addresses on the stack, that the stack buffer overflows. The stack is used by the processor to store addresses when it makes function calls, so that it can mark where to return to when the function call has completed. Can you give an example of the patch that is causing this error?
