I was just trying to run a simple raise_application_error but i get (SQL-ERROR:-6502 - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small) along with the error message
DECLARE
BEGIN
Raise_Application_Error (-20343, 'The balance is too low.');
END;
output
SQL-ERROR:-6502 - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-20343: The balance is too low.
ORA-06512: at line 3

Is it possible you have a "ON SERVERERROR" trigger defined ? If *that* is failing, you'd then see the recursive error you're seeing.
