I have been getting SysError #28 ('dsStkNHeap') stack overflow errors
from my Think C 4.0 program when I run it on either a 1 meg SE or a
Mac Plus, my 5 meg IIx development system runs things just fine.  I
went and cleaned up a couple of large variable that were being allocated
on the stack and that seems to have helped.  I thought it would be nice
to know how to change the stack size, any pointers? :-)

I tried using GetApplLimit and SetApplLimit just after calling MaxApplZone
at the beginning of my program, I adjusted the limit downwards thinking
that that would shrink the heap size and thereby allow a bigger stack.
all I got for my efforts was a bomb!

While I'm here, is the reason that the errors don't show up on the IIx just
that the stack-sniffer doesn't catch them, or is there some other possibility?

Thanx, and have a happy Thanksgiving!

Dan
