I solved the problem: I was iterating through an array, *and* calling
the same method as rescue.
Now I just print something in rescue (which AFAIK returns nil); this
way, it just goes on iterating, instead of calling itself *and*
iterating further, which was an overkill and seems to have caused the
poor system to stack more than thousand levels of method calls.
