Is this only in IE? If so, IE sets arbitrary stack depths, and can sometimes just cut off executing of a thread that would complete normally in any other browser.

So far in my testing, this happens in:
Chrome 22.0.1229.94 m
FF 6.0.2
IE 9

With respect to SmartGWT:
1. This does NOT happen with 3.0p-2012-04-26
2. This happens with 3.0p-2012-10-23
3. This happens with 3.1d-2012-09-29

While testing:
1. This happens on a page with a TabSet of size 100%, with tab controls
2. This does NOT happen when the TabSet controls are TabBarControls.TAB_SCROLLER and TabBarControls.TAB_PICKER
3. I found a comment in my code that, when in addition to #2 I added a tab control of type HLayout on which I invoke setAutoWidth (), I got this: "com.google.gwt.core.client.JavaScriptException: (InternalError): too much recursion". This comment goes back to SmartGWT 3.0p-2012-04-26.
4. It seems that this happens also if, in addition to #2, I add an HLayout with a TransferImgButton on which I call setSize (). If I remove the setSize (), the problem goes away

Of course, this is what I have been able to figure out while running the whole app.
To make my app run, I had to remove one of the controls (the one with TransferImgButtons) from the TabSet controls.
Unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce this on a small test-case yet.

Hmm, seems like you've found a legitimate infinite loop issue.

A runnable test case would be great - in the meantime, since this looks like some kind of auto-sizing issue, you could try setting your added tabControls to overflow:hidden if any are overflow:visible.

I spent a good chunk of additional time on this but no luck yet...

As you said, setting my tab controls to overflow:hidden makes the failure go away, and I can clearly see that the controls now are clipped, so thanks for that!

Let me know if you want me to try out anything in particular, otherwise I will revisit this with nightlies and will allocate more time to it after I get some work stuff out of the way...
