The problem described in the OLC bug report seems to stem from an error
in the user's .zephyr.desc file.
It indicates that the parsing/displaying routines got too deep in
pushing things on an internal stack. This could be caused by too many
variables in the description of a message display format, or a syntax
error in the description file.
Unfortunately the parser used in zwgc is not particularly fancy, so its
error detection and recovery aren't as robust as desired.
This may eventually get fixed.
