I still get the stack overflow error. Some searching suggested that best thing would be to use a 16K stack kernel. I found that there is a 16K stack kernel available from Linuxant website. I just wanted to know if there is a way to change the amount of stack used in the debian kernel itslef without me downloading the kernel provided by Linuxant.
