Registering the +sigaltstack stack with the GC is a possibility, but would slow down the GC +as a big blog of mostly unused memory would be registered. + +The open sourced Java VM does not seem to be using sigaltstack to detect +this case, they seem to use another setup to detect overflows, it might be +worth investigating this. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
