I am running a Prolog/V program under Smalltalk/V 286  and keep running
out of stack space.

I have employed several methods to reduce the use of stack (most involving
the writing of Smalltalk methods to do the work of several Prolog statements),
but I still have problems.

The company tells me that the stack is limited to 28k and cannot be increased. 
They also tell me that I can get more stack space by starting a separate
Process.

Has anyone out there had this problem with the stack in Smalltalk/V?
How did you solve them?
Specifically, has anyone successfully worked around the problem by allocating
separate Processes?

Send me your responses directly and I'll summarize them for the net.
