Which application you are using?

Have you tried 'ulimit' command. It allows one to raise stack size.

It sounds like your over running memory by a byte or so. by 1 errors as they're known are notoriously hard to find as they often do not reveal themselves until a little while later.

look at array access
are all strings nul terminated
are you miss using memset, memmove or memcpy

try running the program in gdb or debugger of your choice.
