I've always been curious.  Why is a top down stack used anyways  ??
If the heap grows up, and the stack grows down, then one can have,
in theory, arbitrarily large stacks.  Handy for CPU's that have a
single flat memory space that is not very big
Ahhh....  Now if someone had explained that the stack was like
LSQA and heap was like user private, then I'd gotten it right
off the bat ;-)

Thanks, Greg
