I can't quite work out the repercussions entirely, but I think the 
problem may be due to nested resumeStack messages. The script is opening 
another stack during its own resumeStack handler, which will trigger the 
same message in the newly-opened stack. Since that one also has a 
resumeStack handler with a "go" in it, I think you are getting some kind 
of recursion as the two bounce back and forth. Try locking messages 
before issuing the "go" command to see if that helps.
