This is already done.  I submitted a patch a couple of weeks ago whereby 
the screen size in the BIOS data area is consulted, and the amount of 
frames is limited by that (minus the area taken by registers' dump and 
two lines for the DOS prompt and `symify' command line).

Of course, when writing to a file, screen size is irrelevant.  But please 
note that some limit needs to be there, for those cases where the stack 
is scrogged.
