Wouldn't it be possible to increase this stack size ?
(I agree, this would be a temporary fix)


Determining whether a handler interrupted a loop or not is adding  
complexity :
Imagine the following block :

::myBlock
   ...
   Intructions
   ...
   for ...
   loop
   ...
   Instructions
   ...

^event
# Should I "pop" ?


I guess the "pop" command should be issued only when the handler is  
triggered
while beeing in the loop...
