+/* NOTES:
+
+ A program that uses alloca, dynamic arrays, or large local
+ variables may extend the stack by more than a page at a time. If
+ so, when the stack overflows the operating system may not detect
+ the overflow until the program uses the array, and this module may
+ incorrectly report a program error instead of a stack overflow.
+
+ To avoid this problem, allocate only small objects on the stack; a
+ program should be OK if it limits single allocations to a page or
+ less. Allocate larger arrays in static storage, or on the heap
+ (e.g., with malloc). Yes, this is a pain, but we don't know of any
+ better solution that is portable.
+
+ No attempt has been made to deal with multithreaded applications. */
