i tried to replicate this problem and could not get it to work. i am
currently using a stable version of a paper shredder. i also tried this
on a post-processing paper shredding device where a third-party carries
out the shredding process, and that also failed to acvieve a stack
overflow. what size of paper are you using? i believe i am using 24lb,
legal size.
