21 /* NOTES:
22 
23    A program that uses alloca, dynamic arrays, or large local
24    variables may extend the stack by more than a page at a time.  If
25    so, when the stack overflows the operating system may not detect
26    the overflow until the program uses the array, and this module may
27    incorrectly report a program error instead of a stack overflow.
28 
29    To avoid this problem, allocate only small objects on the stack; a
30    program should be OK if it limits single allocations to a page or
31    less.  Allocate larger arrays in static storage, or on the heap
32    (e.g., with malloc).  Yes, this is a pain, but we don't know of any
33    better solution that is portable.
34 
35    No attempt has been made to deal with multithreaded applications.  */
