Are you absolutely sure there is not any hidden/indirect recursion, like

you insert row ->
it will activate trigger ->
in the trigger you call SP ->
SP updates some rows ->
it will activate update trigger ->
the tigger will
insert row ->
etc.

Also do not forget that CASCADE clause can be involed too ...
