But what do you expect me to do, if the PC version of a program uses tons of
*big* local variables ? Recoding a *lot* because some people still use 4 KB
stack (which is too little...). Most programs run fine with a default stack of
30 KB (which i myselves use as default stack). If a program needs more the
clean solution is to raise the main task after the program launched, either by
a GUI or by a seperate task simply. But if a program runs with 30 KB stack i
won't care...
