Just to get you going, I have 800-900kB you can start with, if compare
old OS3.1 libs/resources with new OS3.5 libs, I bet you can get this list
growing.
ROM update - 100kB (at least, dont know how much is used to "run" it)
workbench.library - 200kB
icon.library - 50kB
classes/datatypes - 500kB (roughly 500k more than in OS3.1)
Also you havent mentioned wether you have added new harddrives, reformatted
partitions with new blocksize and number of buffer.

You use values for stackattack that is _way_ out of the range specified as
max in the docs:
Now if you had read the docs and done what the author adviced, you wouldn't
have seen "the problem."
The docs does also mention exactly _what_ stackattack patches:
Now you can ask if any of those have been altered from OS3.1 to OS3.5.
I dont know, but I would not be surpriced. The author of stackattack ofcourse
had reasons to advise against setting the stack too high, perhaps he didnt
have the overview on how this would affect the system. He certainly had
no idea how this would affect a OS3.5 based system.
