Why did IBM implement a fixed stack size in IBM C? Since OS/2 2.0
provides a paged memory management, there should be no reason not to
let the stack grow automatically. EMX does it this way. There is just
one single disadvantage: to notice an endless recursion, you have to
listen to the sound of your disk drive. But you don't have to count
stack bytes.
