There were some pretty good answers there.
Stack overflow is also a technique that hackers use to get info from your
machine or access to your machine. They (simplistic) put enough information
in to cause the stack to overflow and they can capture that info or then put
a program in the stack for execution that could give them access to your
machine.

But I like the non corrupted reasons best.
An error condition that occurs when there is no room in the stack for a new
item. This error condition can also occur when other things go awry; for
example, a bad expansion board or one that isn't seated properly in the slot
can cause erratic signals eventually leading to a stack overflow error
message.
