It compiles but I get a runtime error which is caused by a memory

The problem is that the code is much too long to be suitable for
inclusion in this posting, and I don't know where the problem lies.
If anyone does have the time/willingness/extreme kindness to help me, I
would think that the simplest thing would be for them to get in touch
with me at pa**********@yahoo.com
I can be reached by yahoo IM also. My yahoo ID is pauldepstein.
If anyone feels they could help me but only on a paid basis, please let
me know and we'll try and work something out.

Have you run through the program in your debugger? Can you boil it down
to a simple but complete example that demonstrates the same problem?
See this FAQ on posting code:

Wild guess: you're overflowing your stack because of repeated
recursion. Try enlarging the stack size (perhaps in the project
settings if you're using an IDE, or maybe via a command line tool in
some flavor of unix).

Thank you, M limber!
I think your "wild guess" is probably correct. Here is more info on
the code: I set a variable J using a function which is a member of the
parameters class.
I then access J in several places and inside recursive functions using
the line: int J = params_ptr->get_int("J");
if (!strncmp (in_string, "J", 100)) {return J; } is part of the
get_int function.
This accessing of J seems to work going through the loop a few times
but not on the sixth.
So your "guess" is very helpful.
I am very much a newbie and have no idea how to enlarge the stack size.
The IDE is dev c++. Of course, I would be happy to research the topic
of stack-size-enlarging-using-Dev-c++ independently. (I will google it
immediately after this posting.) I merely mention my ignorance of
this, by way of reply to your advice.
Thank you,
