That's often a sign of infinite recursion, i.e., a function that
keeps calling itself, either directly or indirectly.

What's the trigger definition look like?  I'd guess that the update
on contacts.person has a trigger that somehow gets back to this
function, which updates contacts.person, which invokes the trigger,
etc.
