    Mikael> Hi,

    Mikael> The stack size was the default 8192 kB. I have -- reluctantly, but in

Why reluctantly? 64M these days is nothing in terms of memory.

    Mikael> How can I verify from within Emacs what stack size it is running with?

You can't, but since you've launched emacs from that shell it will be
ok.

    Mikael> I will keep it like this for a couple of days and see if I get more
    Mikael> crashes. If I do, I will report and move on and upgrade to HEAD.

Thanks

Robert
