Not really keith… there are already stacks in the Amiga that grow upward. They are the BCPL stacks, and is one of the reasons for a number of nasty bugs that have had to be stomped in the OS. If they ALL grew one direction, it wouldn't matter a bit which way they grew, as they always overflow onto important data. 🙂
