Yes sorry. I've just got this old thing about limited stack space
on some systems, but on Linux/Win32 it's all virtualized, so there
is no space problems.
For instance, we're using the 16 KB scratchpad memory for stack
for PS2, so going above 16 KB will hit slower memory.
I'm forwarding this to AD to make clear that I just said stupid
things :)
