Lines: 10 To my dismay I just found out that Gulam uses the stack of the calling program when handling a system() call over _shell_p. This gives a lovely "run stack overflow" message when using the system() call from an accesory which was loaded first. Does anyone have a readymade system() which Mallocs a stack before giving control to the underlying shell which he/she would like to share with me? (I'm using Turbo C).
