Things that seem to go into the stack with Microsoft C programs include the
environment table (in some memory models); thus you might want to reduce
the number of superfluous variables in the DOS environment.

Also check into the EXEMOD program (it comes with Microsoft C and other MS
products).  You can use it to alter the size of the stack of an already
existing .EXE file.
