See this AskTom thread - the number of executions of the user function depends 
on the SQL execution plan: 
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:6978972926020.
 

I reproduced (on Oracle XE, using SQL Developer:
======
script
======
select * from  v$version;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TESTUSER.TEST_FUNCTION
(param IN VARCHAR2)
RETURN NUMBER AS
BEGIN
  counter_pkg.increment_counter;
  RETURN 190;
END;
/
drop index th_amt_i;
begin counter_pkg.reset_counter; end;
/

select * from trade_history where amount  >  test_function('X'); 
   
    
begin 
    counter_pkg.print_counter('FTS access');
    counter_pkg.reset_counter;
end; 
/
select * from trade_history where amount  >  (select test_function('X') from 
dual); 
begin 
    counter_pkg.print_counter('FTS access with subquery');
    counter_pkg.reset_counter;
end; 
/
    
create index th_amt_i on trade_history(amount);
select count(*) from trade_history;
select * from trade_history where amount  > test_function('X'); 
begin 
    counter_pkg.print_counter('Index range scan');
    counter_pkg.reset_counter;
end; 
/

That still doesn't explain how your call stack was blown, of course...
