You can use the fixhdr command to change the stack size (among other
things).  According to page 18 of my handy-dandy SSC XENIX System V
Command Summary:
	fixhdr -F xxxx program_name

	where xxxx is the size of the stack in hex
(sure is nice to have 5,000 of these handy booklets within 50 feet :-) )
