(In reply to Conrad Meyer from comment #12)
@conrad - I see what you mean since i386 => 32 bit. And yes definitely fixing
the SCTP stack to not use that much stack is the right one. From what I saw it
was right away and likely it uses a lot of stack for each stream and maybe each
association. Dont know the implementation - but difficult to break that need.
But as @Eugene said there is no requirement to keep it less than 4. 

My opinion is that the default is changed to 3 or 4. And systems that are lower
end can configure for lower numbers knowing that things like IpV6+SCTP will not
work. Assuming they dont need to use SCTP. This way the OS is generally usable
in such a specific situation? I mean I think this is a security situation since
it seems real easy to bring down a machine with this issue currently. Seems
like a more critical issue than that ICMPV6 issue of a while back.
