    Heh heh.  I have a feeling that we're going to see more of these sorts 
    of problems crop up (over-extending stacks, making assumptions about
    compiler optimizations) as more and more people try to do threads 
    programming and fewer and fewer of them have the small-systems 
    background to realize that there are in fact stack and compiler 
    optimization issuesl
