"Too big" error

I am new to CFDG so please excuse my limited knowledge
When I am rendering a simple shape I get a message that says "a shape got too big"
All of the shapes in the code are set <1
What does this mean?
Thanks for the help!

Can you post your code to this thread? The geometric information about a shape is stored in six 32-bit floating point numbers. If any of those numbers is infinite or not-a-number then you get the 'shape got too big' error message. This only happens if some shape replacements have a size greater than 1 and the rule probabilities are set so that this replacement happens too often.

You were right: I think that in the rule to make to fractal recursive the size was too large and ended up expanding it too much.
I managed to fix it.
thanks
(plus the resulting fractal was pretty cool, I'll upload it to the gallery once I've tweaked it a bit)
