I *think* the OS you're asking about is SVR3-based.  In which case there
is no reasonable way to expand the kernel stack, so you must mend your
ways.  Don't consume so much stack.  Avoid large local variables.  Avoid
true recursion (if you *must* recurse, do it with a loop and a
software-maintained stack).  Use kmem_alloc() if it's available.

This is way too many newsgroups.  Is it an SVR3 or SVR4 kernel?  Post to
that group, not the other, not misc, not the really generic groups like
comp.unix.programmer.  If it is SVR3-based that you might be right to
post to comp.unix.sco.programmer; if it's SVR4-based then the solaris
group might be appropriate.
