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. Laurent Toutain
