on the Macintosh the stack for each program: the structure in general
can only be 32 K.
On the Amiga, the stack can be anysize I believe: at least up to 100 K
(matlab wants that)
Any bigger on the MAC and it will run it the system heap.

question: I believe every application has its own systemheap right?
But there is a bigsystemheap which can be accessed using TempNewHandle()
but in no other way right?
