FTP Download And Stack Overflow

I have a worker thread which I start with AfxBeginThread. This threads tries to download a file from FTP but when it hits the GetFile function it causes a stack overflow and Visual Studio disappears. The code (abridged) is below:

Code:

---

                ftpConn = session.GetFtpConnection("*****","*****","*****");
               
                if(ftpConn != NULL)
                {
                        if(ftpConn->SetCurrentDirectory("/") != 0)
                        {
                                if(ftpConn->GetFile(strRemoteFile, strLocalFile, FALSE) == 0)
                                {
                                }
                        }

                        ftpConn->Close();
                        delete ftpConn;
                }

                session.Close();

---

Any ideas what is causing it?

I seem to have fixed this. I was creating the thread in the OnInitDialog of my CDialog derived class. Doing so causes a stack overflow in the thread. However, if I start the thread after OnInitDialog has finished, there is no stack overflow.

I am a little surprised that I can't start it in OnInitDialog (I would expect to be able to) but at least it is fixed.
