Hi all,

I am on a bit of fact-finding mission for a problem we are hitting with 
PostgreSQL on Windows.

I am unable to start PostgreSQL on windows if I have the max_stack_depth limit 
greater than 3584kB

DETAIL: “max_stack_depth” must not exceed 3584kB.

Looking at the source code it appears that the maximum stack limit is hard 
coded as 4194304 bytes for Windows builds. My query is why this number was 
picked? Is it to do with the maximum size the Windows Kernel will allow? Could 
I just increase the number and re-compile, or would that break other things?

Paul
