Well I first tried making it unlimited.  This did not work well with
adjusting the dynamic-space-size to
2047 -- an unlimited stack and a big heap give you an illegal
instruction when lisp starts up.

I then tried making smaller stack sizes until lisp would start up with
the modified stack size and
with dynamic-space-size set to 2047.   I settle on 100K bytes.  (the
default on my sun workstation
had been 8096 K bytes).  This seems to be working.

I suspect you are interested in knowing how big the c stack needs to be
in order for purify to
go through in our application.  Unfortunately, the procedure I described
above does not let
me answer that.  So far the only thing that can be said is that 8096 KB
is too small and 100000 KB is big enough.
If I get a chance in the next couple days, I will try some experiments
to narrow the range.

Thanks again for all your help.
