[Repost] SetLocalTime causes stack overflow

Hi all,

I am using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows CE. I am getting a weird stack overflow after calling the MFC function SetLocalTime. There is no code to step into and no call stack.

Here is my code:

void OnBnClickedButtonSet()
{
  SYSTEMTIME time, new_time;
  GetLocalTime(&time);

  //get the date info
  time.wYear = static_cast<WORD>(i_year);
  time.wMonth = static_cast<WORD>(i_month);
  time.wDay = static_cast<WORD>(i_day);
 
  //get the time info
  DWORD ret = m_Time.GetTime(&new_time);
  if (ret == GDT_VALID)
  {
    time.wHour = new_time.wHour;
    time.wMinute = new_time.wMinute;
    time.wSecond = new_time.wSecond;
    time.wMilliseconds = 0;
  }
  else
  {
    TRACE(_T("not a time format\n"));
    return;
  }
 
  CString str(_T(""));

  //set the date and time
  if (!SetLocalTime(&time))
  {
     str.Format(_T("system time error = %d. \n"), GetLastError());
     TRACE(str);
    return;
  }//here the stack overflow message shows up; it only happens the first time i turn the unit on and if the user chooses new values only for the date (no stack overflow when setting the time).
}

SetLocalTime doesn't return an error and sets the chosen values for date/time, even if WindowsCE crashes and it needs restarting. After restarting, the date and time can be set again without any problems...

The Disassembly Window points here: "40060198 stmdb sp!, {r0, r4, r5, lr}". I don't know if this is helpful or not...

i_year, i_month and i_day are variables as int values for 3 edit controls where the user inputs the day, month and year.

Thanks in advance for your help.

N.B. I tried SecureZeroMemory(&time, sizeof(time)) before GetLocalTime(&time) but no change.
