We just discovered that it appears the default Posix thread stack size is 64KByte for OpenBSD (4.1). That seems a bit slim. To compare I recall Solaris8 has got 2MByte as default.
Can I assume all C library routines in OpenBSD are tuned to be careful with stack usage? Is there some system parameter to tweak to increase the default stack size. It would be nice to not force the application into setting its stack size - it differs a lot between different platforms, would be hard to maintain and has an uncomfortable stoneage feeling. -- / Raimo Niskanen, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB
