- By default, the maximum stack size in the runtime

- previously defaulted to 8MB. In general, this

- longer stack overflow as quickly, although they

- Note that you will still eventually encounter a
- stack overflow - when the heap is completely
- exhausted, as stacks are serviced from the
- storage manager. This will cause a runtime abort
- after invoking
