One works fine with no arguments to cpr; the other requires -startup.
The documentation points you to the wrong one. Either using the other
one, or the -startup switch will cause the rest of the documentation
to work fine.

No, I just like big stacks - and have a memory-rich system. Varargs
functions (especially those without source on the far end) seem to
give cpr problems. Other than that, and occaisionally losing debug
data so that it can't find variables to give me values, it works fine.
