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). http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq15_9.html 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.
