Hard fault when drawing bit map using STemWin on STM32F4

When I try to display a bit map on my LCD, the STM32F4 jumps to the hard fault  handler. Because the library is in a binary format, I can't really see whats causing the fault. If I comment out the line, the hard fault doesn't happen. I am using other STemWin functions, GUI_SetColor, GUI_FillRect, GUI_SetFont, GUI_DispStringAt, and the LCD behaves exactly as I expect it to. I know that writing to a protected bank of SDRAM will cause an AHB error, and hard fault, so I've verified that the write protect bits are cleared. I'm looking for a recommendation on how to assess the root cause of the hard fault.

Second, do you know where IAR specifies the stack size. 

From IAR ide:

Project->options

select Linker in category list

Tab Config press Edit...button

select Stack/Heap Sizes tab

The second revision of my HW did have the byte enables assigned correctly, and the hard fault was an issue no more!

Awesome, thanks for the follow up.
