You can turn off the "stack sniffer" by setting the low memory global
StkLowPt to 0.  The VBL interrupt routine stores the "low-water" stack point
in this variable, and compares it to the end of the application heap.

Be sure to re-enable this by setting it to FFFFFFFF when your application
leaves.
