Hi Blake, Mac OS 10.4.2 is a Unix family OS. The stack size is not controlled by the application (compiler / linker), it is controlled by your environment. >From the command line, type this: ulimit -s You should see "8192". To change your limit, try this: ulimit -s 16000 Now... ulimit -s ...should show "16000". For more information on the ulimit shell intrinsic command: help ulimit HTH, --Eljay
