     I had no problem running the tutorial according to the documentation,
but there is something you have to watch for.  There are two copies of the
lines program.  One is in :examples while the other is in
:examples/debugger.  The former doesn't work with the CPR defaults because
it uses _main() instead of main().  If you use the program in
:examples/debugger it will work fine.

     If you want to suppress the "go main" instruction at the beginning of
CPR invoke it with "cpr -startup".

     I run it with a stack size of 15000.  It works fine.  Perhaps you're
using it on bigger programs than I am, which would explain a need for more
stack space.
