Why does recording stop automatically?

I'm using Logic Express 8.0.2 on Mac OSX 10.6.8.

I'm recording just 1 track of audio. I have "Audio 1" (the only track aside from the master track) set up with compression as the only plug-in, and the mute "M" and record "R" buttons selected. When I hit record, it starts recording, and at first everything is fine. However, as some point (I can't figure out any way to predict when) it automatically stops recording. It basically goes into playback mode so that the playback bar is still moving, but nothing is being recorded. I can click the record button (the circle) at the bottom, and recording will start again.

How can I prevent this from happening? Is there a setting that makes the recording stop at some point? And if so, how can I change that?
