stack overflow from string bend

I’m having trouble with a recent revision I’ve made to a patch. The patch is to pitch modulate an audio file saved in a buffer, using pitch scaled from a MIDI note, as well as pitch bend information. What I’m getting is a stack overflow. This may be from the string bend, but I’m not sure (if I knew I’d fix it…). Any help with this, anyone see where I’m slaughtering this patch?
Thanks in advance

I can’t see anything in that subpatcher that could be causing a stack overflow. Are you sure the error is in this part of your patch?

HI, thanks for looking at this.
The "stack overflow" error pops this patch open, and lists the "route" in the pfft~ gizmo_loadme 4096 4 module as the source.
Note that I have six of these patches "SingerPatchGroove" in my program–one for each string of a MIDI guitar.

Is a closed feedback loop the most likely cause of a stack overflow? In debugging, should I primarily look for a closed loop I’ve accidentally created? What else is a likely cause? I understand that while the problem may be showing up here, the cause may be elsewhere. Thanks.

OK, fixed it. It was in the sixth string module, identical to the patch I gave here, except for one slight mis-connection…that created a loop. Thanks for your help, David.
