If someone can tell how you add size to a hardware stack, I think the TC might
consider solving the problem.  However even a soldering iron is not much help
on a chip with internal stacks.  I suppose you could buffer the overflow, but
then you loose all the advantage of having a fast internal stack.

I just can't see how to do it.   DaR
