Microsoft CodeView has a really spiffy breakpointing facility that allows
you to say:

    bp .379 "tpb *CardData.FileName l10;g"

or some other set of CodeView commands to be executed everytime the 
breakpoint occurs.  There's only one problem: it seems that CodeView
can only perform a limited number of these commands before stack
overflow.

I was using commands much like this to set up tracepoints at the
start of a function, and turn it off at the end of the function,
and after a few dozen of these commands have been performed, CodeView
generates a stack overflow message, as though CodeView has some sort
of unbalanced stack activity associated with these type of commands.
