I think the stack can nearly never overflow having a limit (yes, I read
the system docs ;) of 65536 kb for ordinary users on FreeBSD. Or is
there any kind of segmentation an limits thereof in the game?
An should one trust the {$S+} switch? I get several overflow stops if it
is activated in my units one by one but there seem to be no real fault
...
But I followed your (and Marco's) advice to use the newest version fpc
1.9.4 (that installed and works fine without path problems) and with the
fixed debugging symbols I was able to hunt and shoot down my other bugs
(not detected by 1.0.10).
The only thing I could not find out is what exactly went wrong with the
1.0.10. Now I cannot name the main problem ... but it has gone away and
I'm happy.
Many thanks to you both for help and patience.
Marc
