Greetings. The man page for pthread_create: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/pthread_create.3.html Has some example code at the bottom; one of the invocations includes this bit of commentary: 8192 # The stack size limit is 8 MB (0x80000 bytes) I had to stare at that a bit; I believe it should actually be 0x800000 (note 5 zeros, not 4). (I do wish that we -- the computing community -- had managed to come up with a sane digits separator for hex, but oh well. 0x80_0000 maybe? 0x80'0000? just 0x80,0000?) Anyway. Thanks for the good work!
