Language: PPL program debugging

The Question is:

I'am running application witch is using the PPL
runtime library. Sometimes, when I invoke the application,
it fails with the error message :

%NONAME-F-BADLOGIC, internal logic error detected
%TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows
... the traceback ...

I'm suspecting the PPL to cause such an error. Is it
possible ?

What kind of "bad" programming may cause this error ?
What are the cases that cause PPL to raise this error ?

Thank you for your help.

Regards.

The Answer is:

    It's certainly possible for this to be a result of a bug in PPL, but
    the specific error displayed is _not_ an error reported by PPL.
    It's more likely that this is a result of a program bug.

    My assumption is that the stack is corrupt, and that the status
    reported is bogus.

:What kind of "bad" programming may cause this error ?

    There are all manner of programming errors that result in a corrupt
    stack.

:What are the cases that cause PPL to raise this error ?

    I see no immedate evidence that this is a PPL error.
