No, I haven't done that, but it sounds like a good idea. >Stack overflow should not happen that fast. If the bug really is in that function, one should >be able to see it from the assembly. Perhaps another bug is just triggered here. A bug somewhere else in my code, you mean? That's what I fear, too (although I don't understand how a bug somewhere else could be triggered here). Changing the command[] array from a local to a global array seems to have solved my problem, but I still have the nagging fear that the problem was caused by a nasty bug somewhere else in my program, and that this bug may have other unpleasant consequences.
