Perl_stack_grow() is a C function: it's part of the perl interpreter. You would have to debug it by using a C debugger such as gdb and run the perl interpreter under it.

It will be called each time an OP being being executed by the interpreter wants to push one or more items onto perl's argument stack. In that line of code, it likely extends it by 1 to push $clauses_aref->[0] and then extends it by the size of the @$bind_aref array. It is most likely crashing due to the latter: so either the array has got extremely large, or the internal state of the array has got corrupted in some fashion.

What version of perl is this, and is it compiled as 32-bit or 64-bit? The commands perl -v and perl -V |grep ivsize should tell you these.

Dave.
