Is there a way to use the debugger, to see the runaway stack, or is it completely locked out?
My guess is that you don't have enough heap space to generate a backtrace (it may be very deep and each frame has some space overhead when it is printed).
One "solution" is to display each frame "manually". So do ,1 to move to frame 1 and then ,2 for frame 2 and so on.
