Thanks James! Appreciate the information. That helps clear up some questions
but it certainly doesn't seem to be related to the content of the message.
Wouldn't it be nice if message writers were developers.

I think the message probably reflects exactly what is happening. Some languages (like RPG for instance) do not support recursion. It's just the nature of the language. You can code recursive programs in RPG, but to do so, you must use a different activation group for each instance. If you don't, the instance variable and state information will be the same across multiple instances.
