It's a bit hard to know how to help without more detail. Code you paste some code somewhere? I'm sorry if this sounds picky, but your description is a bit vague. E.g., there's no such thing as a "chain of deferreds" (do you mean chain of callbacks on a single deferred? or a callbacks that return deferreds etc?) and e.g., "deferreds seem to run forever" but deferreds don't run at all, callbacks do. If you can make it a bit more precise I'll be happy to try to help.
