This issue relates to a previous issue #3 . In certain situations, large loops such as the one below can result in Ruby running out of stack space and dropping out into the interpreter.

LOOP 50000W
WRITE mysentences wfolder
LOOPEND

Most likely, the fix would be rewriting the loop_iterator function iteratively instead of recursively.

Hello! I'm very excited to try YeetWords out for NaNoGenMo. I did immediately run into an issue doing the quick start tutorial. Here's my entire project:

sentence/mysentences.txt

I picked up the _NOUN_

word/noun.txt

hammer
saw
screwdriver
panda

novel.txt

WRITE mysentences wfolder 50000W

When I run ruby yeetwords.rb novel.txt, this is the output:

Y| WELCOME :)
Y| Running your program...
Y| Reading file mysentences.txt
Y| Reading file noun.txt
<internal:kernel>:48:in `initialize_clone': stack level too deep (SystemStackError)

Clearly it's too many loops, and when I drop it down to 20000W it works fine. I'm sure I could manually update my maximum stack size somewhere in my Ruby or system settings to fix the problem. But anyway, this is a Ruby error and should probably output something more human-friendly so I'm reporting it here!
