- A Shell uses a certain amount of stack, a special area in memory allocated
- for it. Each Shell has a specific stack size. If a program causes a system
- failure, changing the Shell's stack size may solve the problem. Commands
- performing operations consisting of multiple levels can require additional
- stack space.
-
- Stack sizes typically range from 4096 to 40000 bytes. If the stack size is
- too small, a system failure can occur. If the stack size is too large, it can
- use too much memory.
-
- Note:
-
- A software failure message is displayed if you run out of stack space.
- Increase the stack space for the Shell that caused the error.
-
- Entering the STACK command with no arguments displays the current stack size.
