If you open a shell and do the stack command and then run programs
from the shell, they will each take the size specified by the stack
command. If you use scripts and IconX, they will have to have a
stack command in the script for each one seperately. If they are
run from WB, they take the stack specified by their respective icon.
Two programs run from the same shell do not share the same stack; only
the size is the same.
