Dunno, probably the best person to ask would be CWS.

According to the DJGPP FAQ (section 15.9), this is
"due to a bug/feature of the DPMI 0.9 specification"
(or maybe certain programs' sources don't use the
"static" storage qualifier enough).

From what little I understand, other systems are more
lenient (e.g. Linux), where "ulimit" often says
"unlimited", hence egregious stack chomping often
goes unnoticed there.
