It means there's an endless loop somewhere in the code.  If it were in
Class::DBI->create() it probably would have been seen before, so I'm
guessing it's in the create_from_cgi() code.  You can probably debug it
by going through that code in the debugger or adding logging statements
to it.  You might want to double-check that the arguments you're passing
to create_from_cgi() are really what you think they are.
