If you are declaring your members using:

Joystick rightStick(2);

instead of:

Joystick *rightStick = new Joystick(2);

then you are declaring on the stack, NOT the heap. You have a limited stack size for your program (I'm not sure if you can increase it or not - anyone?). Try using heap variables instead and see if the problem goes away if this is how your code works (which it looks like from the snippets you posted).
