    MPlayer (MorphOS) sets its stack itself, and doesn't require the user to guess it (besides, stack command sets the 68k stack).


    That reminds me of a very long standing question I've always had: Why was this funcion born? Was AmigaOS' kernel unable to handle something so deep as its own stacks for processes?

    I don't know of any other operating system that would ever believe a user can decide in this.


    On AmigaOS normally the programmer has to set the correct stack value like fab does.
    But many are forgetting to do it.
    On MorphOS programs compiled with the sdk have automatic stack extension.
