Shouldn't occur. The 80286 compiler version uses a fixed stack size
(I believe it defaults to 2000 hex bytes). It could be expanded with the
fixhdr -f command, or there is a cc option. 386 compiled executables
have variable size stacks and do not suffer from the limitations that the
286 does.
BTW, on this box I am running SCO XENIX 386 2.3.2, with DS 2.2, and have not
experienced these core dumps. I run all kinds of stuff from Netnews, smail,
to filepro and Informix, etc... And if anything is going to core dump it is
going to be an Informix Esql/C program :-)
