Disassembling it, it looks to me as if NSDocumentController uses GCD, and I 
don’t think there’s any way to set the stack size for threads created by GCD 
(correct me if I’m wrong).  I imagine this used to be an ever bigger problem in 
the past - IIRC when Mac OS X originally shipped, threads other than the main 
thread had *very* small stacks by default.

:-D  Not surprised.  It may well be the only way without rewriting the code to 
not use recursion, however.

Kind regards,

Alastair.
