Short: V0.9 Kills GURUs (stack problem)
Author: steger@pass.dnet.it (Georg Steger)
Uploader: steger@pass.dnet.it (Georg Steger)
Version: 0.9
Type: util/boot
Requires: OS 2.0 (V36)
If you are running many programs that patch system functions (such as
commodities and hacks) it might happen that sometimes your machine
crashes without real "motivation". This is often caused by a too low
stack of many programs (because of the patched routines increasing the
stack usage of the corresponding system function).
StackAttack tries to kill these GURUs by patching CreateProc(), CreateNew-
Proc(), RunCommand() and SystemTagList(). It alters the stack passed to
these routines depending on what parameters you supply to StackAttack.
StackAttack allows you to set a minimum stack size a new process (program)
shall have and also by how much bytes you want to increase the stack further
NOTES:
======
o StackAttack only eats just about 210 bytes!!
o StackAttack is also part of PowerWindows. The version in this archive
is newer than the one present in PowerWindowsUp.lha V1.1.1!
