I'm using some recursive calls that are filling up my stack.  There's no
easy way around the recursion, so I'm finding other ways to be frugal with
stack usage.  I've been reading up on the stack issues and have a couple of
questions:

(1) I read somewhere that even if I keep below the stack size that I allot
myself, that Palm Hacks can occupy some of the stack, and that my app
consequently may not have as much as it thinks it does.  E.g., if my app is
compiled for a 4K stack, but there are Hacks that occupy 512 Bytes, that I'm
really working with a 3.5K stack (is this true?  I'm not very savvy about
how Hacks work).  If this is the case, how do you work with this?  Do you
allocate the stack to be a little bigger than it needs to be to allow of
Hacks to take some of it?

(2) When the stack overflows, I get the initial message from POSE listing
the last 6 or so functions on the stack with the amount of stack they're
using in parenthasis.  But, there's usu. a dozen or so function calls above
that that are the real culprits -- is "#pragma warn_stack_usage 1" the only
way to get a function's stack size, or is there a way to see the amount of
stack all of the functions were using at the time POSE crashed?

Thanks,
Rich
