Post by: Khalee on April 02, 2004, 06:25:48 pm
Seems like on certain web sites I go to I get that message, is that just bad codeing on there part?.

I'm not a programmer but isn't stack overflow the same as the divide-by-zero error?  If so it's probably bad coding on part of the web site.

Divide by zero would be a domain error.  A stack overflow seems to be just an overflow, a number too large.  It happens sometimes on the AP chemistry exam, thats how I know at least.  Try plugging 2^1000000 power on a calculator and you'll probably know what I mean.

This happens when a program tries to use more memory stacks than have been allocated for it...often resulting in over-writing other memory spaces used by other programs.

What OS are you using Khalee? I can recall on the Very old Ultima Games running on Win 95, having to alter the Files= and Something else in the Shortcut properties when starting them in DOS. It might be something Simialer. Depending on OS, and Memory.

Nothing to worry about, basically its a program memory error....the result of poor programming.
