 * Hi – I too have the same stack overflow issue and DO NOT have Akismet installed–
   it started with v2.1 and did not go away with the 2.1.1.
 * Others can post to the blog with no issue. I upgraded to IE 7.0 hoping that it
   would resolve the issue to no avail.
 * Any suggestions in how to corret this issue would be greatly apprecaited.

 * I too am having this problem. Here are the symptoms.
    1) The site was upgraded
   from 2.0 to 2.1.2
 * 2) I go to edit a page and add carriage returns.
 * 3) In firefox, if I save the page, I get a message asking me if I want to navigate
   away from the page.
 * 4) If I do the same thing in IE6, I get a message stackoverflow at line: 500

 * I used to get this error but solved it.
 * It is most likely caused by two or more instances of prototype.js is loaded, 
   one for WordPress core and one (at least) for some plugin(s).
 * You can look in your source to see what plugin is using its own prototype.js 
   and then comment out that line in that plugin.

 * Does this work for any other stack overflow errors? Mine occured after u/l 2.3,
   finding problems, dumping and then u/l the older version.
    The categories no 
   longer show up. I use the widgets sidebar. When I head to that page and can see
   that the categories widget is missing, once the page finishes loading, the widgets
   re-arrange themselves and the stack overflow message appears. Did not add any
   new plug-ins, etc.
 * Any suggestions?
