The stack size used in a CLI is the choice of the user. If the user wants to
waste 400k on stack size, that's his lookout.
However, you said that "the process" that spawns your program is running with
a 40K stack. If the process is another program, that program can control how
much stack you get using tags.
As to your comment about telling the BBS author to do something special if
running from SAS/C-compiled code, I don't believe we do anything differently
from other C compiler systems; indeed, some don't offer the ability to
specify a MINIMUM stack size either. The ability to specify a MAXIMUM stack
size has to my knowledge never been requested by another user, so I think
it's understandable that we don't offer it.
Finally, please try to be rational when discussing issues like this. I'm
perfectly willing to help you with your problem if I can, but I'm somewhat
put off by the angry tone of your postings.
