Could someone explain the two parameters (size and commited) in PESTACK?

I am using RSXNTDJ and I got a crash on the sequence

  sub esp, 4E00h
  push edi

The stack size was 1MB.  The commited was 8K and only 4K was used when
the above code tried to use 19.5 K more.

I would have guessed that committed was the initial allocation and
size was the amount it could grow to.

I fixed my problem (probably not permanently) by setting the commited to
80K (leaving size at 1Mb).  Does this mean that growing the stack
doesn't work or do I misunderstand the parameters?
