This is not true.  A thread is not initialized with a particular amount of
memory.  Any thread can allocate as much memory from the global heap as it
needs to (assuming there is memory available).

The Windows API also provides something called "thread local storage" (TLS)
which is memory that can be allocated by a thread and is known only to the
thread that allocated it.  But here again, there is no pre-set amount that
is made available to the thread.
