Hi Mark--

    I do very little C programming, and no C++ programming, but my PL/I
for OS/2 compiler defaults to 1 MB stack for each secondary thread.  I
set the primary thread stack to 2 MB.  With a proper OS/2 compiler
(Borland is not, which is why Hugo asked), stack pages (4KB) are loaded
into memory by the operating system only as required, so specifying an
overly large maximum stack size costs nothing and prevents stack
overflow problems.
