[comp.sys.sun] Stack Size

toutain@vega.inria.fr (Laurent Toutain) (11/01/90)

I have a program which copies the user's stack in its own private stack
area. In SUN-OS3.5 this program worked fine.  Since I upgraded to SUN-OS
4.0, it doesn't work any more.  I found an explanation: the use of stack
seems to have drastically grown between the two versions of the SUN-OS.
When I changed the size of the private area to a larger value the program
worked again.

I like to know the maximum stack size for a common application in order to
optimize my code.
