XCOPY Version 1.8 published https://github.com/FDOS/xcopy/releases/download/v1.8/xcopy18.zip
It implements two changes to reduce stack overflows - it does not eliminate it as that would require further review of other stack variables used. The overall stack size increased slightly and the reduction of stack usage by about 160 bytes per recursive call (moved 2 of the filepath[MAXPATH] variables to be static - similar to Tom's suggestion). (Using older FreeDOS 1.4prerelease I was able to duplicate stack overflow and that with changes did not occur.)
