No, a small stack is almost certainly NOT your problem, so enlarging
it won't help.  In the case of stack overflow, both ESP and EBP would
be invalid.  But in your case, ESP is valid, while EBP is garbage.

This usually means that you are overruning some local array.

Examine carefully the declarations and the code that deal with char
arrays which hold path names.
