In pd it usually means you have a loop somewhere, so that the output of an object is feeding its own input: each time a new output is calculated a new input is generated, so the process never ends and eventually the stack overflows.
AFAICT in most cases the stack doesn't actually overflow. If the message "stack overflow" gets posted to the Pd console it means that pd has prevented a stack overflow by monitoring the recursion depth, and stopping the message graph at a given outlet.
