In section 1.4 pg 25 of the book, is the following statement:
MINIX supports separate instruction and data spaces, so a program
on the IBM PC, for example, can have 64k bytes of text and another 64k
bytes of data and stack segmesnts combined, for a total of 128k bytes
for text, data and stack total.
But in the chmem man page:
The compiler sets the stack space to the largest possible value
(64k - text - data)
Which would indicate 64k. Also I amde a little program that all it did
was malloc(1024) and it bombed at around 57k.
Which is right? Is there some way of getting at that second 64k that I have
missed?
