When playing with "multi-tasking", it is useful to be able to move the stack
pointer to one of several stack areas.  The "stack sniffer" routine checks
whether the stack overlaps the heap during every tick, and bombs if it does.

How do I disable the stack sniffer?  As far as I can tell "IM" Vols 1-4 only
tell what the stack sniffer does, not how to control it.  Someone mentioned
that there is a global flag that enables/disables; if so, what is it's
address (I can't find it in my compiler's include files).
