When formatting a 3.5" floppy that has a bad sector, FORMAT terminates with a Stack Overflow! error. Since it appears to occur after formatting is complete, it probably is not a serious bug.

can you check if this still happens with format 0.9.2?

I also posted this issue more recently on Github.
Yes, this issue is now fixed as of FORMAT v0.92.
