I have a couple regexp objects in my patch that cause a stack overflow, but when I disconnect the outlets, it still happens. It only happens on-load. If I unhook them until after loading the patch, then re-connect them up, they work as expected.

These objects haven't had this issue until a recent Max update, possibly 7.2.3. Not 100% sure.

They haven't been causing me any issues for days without modification to the SAME patch. Any idea why all of a sudden, they would start causing a stack overflow?

you probably need to include more context if you want salient advice, like the actual patch, or a working part of it at least;

but maybe, without having seen anything, as a general rule judicious use of the deferlow object can often help with stack overflow problems

Yes, 2 regexp objects in a patch won't help anyone to help me. Sorry. I was more asking about whether people have had problems with regexp objects in recent updates. I've never had any problems with these objects getting a stack overflow and I've been working on this patch for years. It's really strange that they would start now.
