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 some hundred bytes!
CHANGES IN V 1.3:
=================
o Fixed my email address, which was not vaild anymore since many years
o StackAttack itself does not contain any updates. I just decided to
re-upload it, because StackAttack was removed from Aminet some time
ago, after someone had uploaded a trojan infected version.
*** StackAttack is FREEWARE ***
