Yes, that's what I am actually proposing. Mozilla is not the first
program that doesn't run with the tiny default stacksize of 512KB.
For the agqt package, I did the resizing (to 600KB) inside the C
code, but that was a very small program and simple to modify. It
was, however, not so easy to detect that the small stacksize was
the at the origin of segmentation faults people were seeing.
If you try to compile gcc3, you have to set stacksize to 800 or
bigger, or else you get some weird errors that are hard to
understand. And I suppose this problem will reappear elsewhere if
the stacksize is not set to some reasonable value globally. If you
are afraid that the maximal stacksize of 64MB would pose problems
somewhere, it could be set to something like 1000KB in init.csh.
